OK, but what exactly IS your point?

Jim caught it. :-)


That pilot apparently had a valid medical certificate, which did NOTHING
to prevent the accident, because a cursory one-time physical exam simply
has little chance of predicting a sudden incapacitation event.

See. You got it too.


Excuse my confusion here, but weren't you the person who wrote:
"Personally, I thought the medical requirements were prudent and
acceptable, but then I'm healthy."???

You said "prudent and acceptable", I say ineffective, unacceptable, and
in some cases, actually counterproductive.
