Default Airline pilot dies after takeoff

I still can't see how anybody can gather enough information from a news
article to determine that this event has anything to do with a first class
medical.


The idea of a first-class medical is that it prevents the kind of
event that makes a pilot too ill to fly the plane.


The idea that a medical checkup of any kind "prevents" disease or
conditions of any nature is stupid and ludicrous.

How many people at risk for heart attacks have one at the wheel of a
car?

A pilot at risk for a heart attack is actually more likely to
experience one in the toilet.


And even more likely to experience one at an airport.

And thus _really_ likely to experience one in an airport toilet.

I said events, not diseases or conditions.

Just admit you don't know any more than anyone else on this board, why is it
so hard to admit you are wrong?

So you don't know.


The common causes of rapid death are not that great in number, and
cardiovascular incidents are high on the list.

I've never claimed to know more than anyone else.

How do you know I'm wrong?
