[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does this restriction exist for flying? It's absurd to think that someone who would do better on attention meds might need to try not to take them to qualify for this, when attention is absolutely what will be needed. It seems like a case-by-case qualifying situation would be far better.[/quote] are you actually asking this? because we need people who fly airplanes to be able to have HIGHER than average exec function and focus. not lower. [/quote] And (medicated) they may be able to achieve it. If they can’t take the med, they couldn’t fly that day. But it seems odd to care how they are able to focus and fly safely as long as they CAN do it. [/quote] Things happen. Sometimes a plane gets stuck on the tarmac for hours, or diverts to another airport stranding people somewhere else overnight (or even longer). Etc. [/quote]
