How long does your oncologist have you on ADT?

In the U.S., you might still be able to fly under BasicMed as long as you qualify for a driver's license. Here, Transport Canada told me I'm not likely to be allowed to hold any license or permit again (even the Recreational Pilot Permit, our equivalent of BasicMed), so my wings are permanently clipped.

Surprisingly, it was the spinal injury that grounded me (which my orthopedia surgeon think was bogus), but I know that if I beat that, they'll just bring up the ADT+Erleada that I'm on permanently, so it doesn't seem worth spending $10K+ in legal fees and a year or more of my life to fight it, even though the aviation lawyer recommended by COPA thinks I have a decent case and could set an important precedent.

Might depend on your age and financial status . I m 76 and retired now from being a bus driver for 12 years. I was an ATC for 4 years and got fired by movie star Reagan, that bad event of course led me to a better paying job, less stressful too at a nuclear plant for 21 years, bus driving came after this. Moral as discussed before- bade things can lead to better things. The US Govt. Screwed itself losing all that talent: just like what’s happening today.
