OTR Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not all medical extensions are eligible, be sure to read CAR's 404.06 & 404.18 & page 15 of your Aviation Document Booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzard Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Everybody isolate yourself in your home immediately for 14 day! No exceptions! This is not a drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippersnapr Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 The real question is what's going to happen in August. My CAME basically said to call and check for scheduling in May, June, July in case things get backed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're implying a lack of experience, I don't follow. I'm saying that most of us are coming due in the next couple months if not already since it's go time now, and now CAMEs are going to be swamped all in July and it's hard enough to schedule a medical in normal times, TC will likely extend again to the shoulder season at least to accommodate the 702/703 guys who will be out on fires all summer.

That would be my prediction, especially if there is a big fire season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleton Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's pretty low risk to extend medicals. I can't see it being an issue if this drags out into late spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
