The airlines can get rid of 💉😷 but until they address the issue of vaxxed pilots, it’s unsafe to fly. His career is over but thank God he landed the plane. Someone was 🙏

lmao....actually I do... First Class medical every 6 months...
As long as the medical issue has been resolved, pilots return to flying status after being signed off by an FAA certified AME. It is rigorous, but pilots can return to work even after something like a heart attack.
Sorry for assuming. Apologies. My son went through two years of pilot school, then covid hit. I know about half a dozen kids who got diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and adhd. That’s the everyday diagnosis now for teens/young adults. He can’t fly now or so we were told, even though he’s not on medicine. Sucks. Crazy thing is, he made perfect score on every test first time.
Was he diagnosed? I would get several opinions, since with the pilot shortage, now is a good time for young people to start their career.
It could be his flight school is not correctly informed....I would check around, find out exactly what is in his written record, and what an AME would need to see to get his medical. Get a new FAA doctor and/or flight school. Call your local "FSDO," flight district standards office and speak to a local FAA official.
Covid hit hard where I am. There’s nothing really official. He only took one flight physical. He took the written tests but not all the flight hours bc covid. Then they required the vax, so we put it on hold. The passion kind of died when it’s all the testing and no flying. Guess we’ll cross that bridge when it comes
