  1. Hi NastyRigPig, I'd be operating under European rather than FAA rules - but then again, ours were more or less copied from yours, so there might not be any major differences in that respect. And I'm fortunate enough to have access to very cheap medication via social healthcare plans in my home country, so insurance is somewhat less of a concern than it would be elsewhere. I'm going to go ahead and get my ass on the course. I might not ever end up in a hangar but I'll sure as hell get myself on that road!
  2. This is very true. I would of course disclose it if legally required (not that that is likely to happen) but otherwise it's nobodys business but my own!
  3. Cheers AlwaysOpen, that does sound reassuring!
  4. Thanks for your reply bearbandit. I did have a look through some UK regulations (CAA) but it just mentions that a person 'must not exercise the privileges of a licensed position if he knows or suspects that his mental or physical condition renders him unfit.' How terribly vague! I'm fitter and healthier than ever - perhaps even moreso than I was before I became poz, when I wasn't really paying attention to my body. So I can't see it being a problem but it's really frustrating that so little guidance is available out there.
  5. I've been thinking about doing a mechanics course and working my way towards an aircraft engineers license. Does anyone here happen to know if being poz is a disqualifying factor? I've heard that it's a big no-no but I can't find any solid answers elsewhere, and though I emailed a few airlines HR depts, I only got non-commital waffle answers that were copied straight out of some generic anti-discrimination bullshit.
