Alaska Medical Screening

[BeeKeeper]

Does anyone know if Alaska has a medical exam as part of their screening process? Any standards in excess of FAA 1st class limits, ie an uncorrected vision limit. Thanks

If you pass the sim and the board review they will send you to be screened for nicotine use....... You can't smoke and get hired at Alaska.. As I understand it, there is no medical screening at all

No medical other than your FAA medical. As indicated by the previous post, we do test for nicotine use within 6 months. You pee in two seperate bottles. One for the drug test and the other for nicotine.
