Out of curiosity Matthew, is this recent event why you feel he won’t make team?

I don’t know if they will have time to get all the answers they need for him to get back on the field for the start of the season. If cleared I can see the call up after week 1.

I know this to be true, unless a proven diagnosis on this neurological event is found Jimmy Graham’s flying days over. “With a history epilepsy a pilot can be considered for certification only if there has been 10 years since the last seizure and 10 years since anti convulsant medication has been used. A single seizure might be reconsidered if at least 4 years have passed since the last seizure and no anti convulsant drugs were used”.

Of course, it's just speculation that he even experienced a seizure.

True AG but the FAA’s position on this type of event happening whether a seizure or some other causation it must be reported immediately and they ask that you surrender your Flight medical.

I have seen this more than once minimum 4 years of no reoccurrence is almost always enforced. Good friend had a similar issue never regained his medical.

Working commercial pilots their livelihood is literally medical to medical every 6 months.
