Can I return to my job as airline pilot after this medical problem below?(first class faa medical)?

In the United States, you are required to disclose your history of epilepsy for the medical (along with many other aspects of your medical history, including all kinds of diagnoses and treatments), so it doesn't matter whether the doctor checks for it or asks about it. Epilepsy is normally disqualifying, but in some special circumstances, especially for Rolandic seizures that last occurred at least four years prior, or isolated febrile seizures, a medical can be issued. In every case, you must furnish adequate documentation to the FAA and convince the agency that you are not subject to seizures now and don't require medication (the medication itself can be disqualifying, even if it controls the seizures).

If you do obtain a medical, you still have to get over the hurdle of being hired. Some employers may have reservations about hiring someone with a history of epilepsy, even if he has a medical, usually for reasons of potential liability or insurance. On the one hand, the airline can claim that the medical proves that there is no risk (and it may even feel forced to overlook the condition if the medical has been issued), but on the other hand, a pilot with no history of epilepsy may still be preferable to a pilot with such a history, medical or no medical.

The FAA's concern, obviously, is that you might have a seizure in flight. Your objective, if you want a medical and a job as a pilot, is to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that you are not at risk of seizures today. That's going to be pretty difficult if you had seizures for years and were medicated for them, but the FAA has the discretion to give anyone a medical if it deems that the person can safely fly.

There is a lot of discrimination against epileptics and a lot of overcaution. At the same time, though, it is generally true that one cannot guarantee that a person who has had epilepsy or unexplained seizure activity at any point in life will not experience it again. That's what makes government authorities nervous when it comes to operating vehicles.

Aviation, in particular, disqualifies people for all sorts of reasons, many of them even harder to justify than exclusions for epilepsy. But some jurisdictions even exclude epileptics from getting a driver's license, and sometimes it is hard to see the real justification for this, depending on the individual case.

I don't think you would be able to get a first class medical with the epilectic background. Right now you would not even be able to get a third class since you haven't been off medication long enough. For a special issuance you would also need to have a current EEG and a letter from a physician verifying you no longer have any evidence of epileptic activity.

However, there is another option. You can fly as a sport pilot which will allow you to do training, solo flight and even carry a passenger. This license does not require a medical if you qualify for a driver's license.

However, if you have been denied a medical certificate then you are not eligible for sport pilot priviledges. So, flying can be part of your future but commercial flying is probably not part of it. Sorry....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
