I'm a former AF pilot. I've been trying to tell my pilot friends this since the start! The AF was VERY restrictive about what medicines we could take and stay on flying status. I'm unjabbed and will stay that way. My pilot friends all said, "Meh - got a family to feed..." Damn sheep! I left the AF a while ago after 11 years and 2500+ flying hours to stay home with my kids. Now the youngest is almost out of the nest and I've been waiting for the mandate madness to end before applying for airline or cargo jobs. There aren't very many of us unjabbed pilots left. I hope to command a premium for my mad skills and pure blood!
