My apologies for posting INFORMATION on an INFORMATION board
Prayers go out to the family.
Wouldn't a bad heart show up on an EKG during a medical?

Mod Input: To quote the CNN article. "The pilot's name was not released." Let's please keep it that way. That means no crew pairings, no names, etc. In respect for the families. RIP
I am 35. I am 5'6" and weigh 265 pounds. I dont even try to keep my shirt tucked in and my pants cuffs are usuailly over my shoe heel to the point that I have worn holes in the cuff. Yes, I do get tired on the walk around. It is the worst at the left wing. Sometimes, after the walk around, I look at the jetway stairs and start to cry. But I tell myself "just one step at a time". I am thankful to the many rampers who have waited patiently behind me, or, in many cases, carried me up the stairs. But get me in the cockpit, let me put on my raybans, and look out baby! I am a swinging aviator! Would you like to shag now or later?What about the 35 year old overweight, out of shape pilots I've seen who look like they've never exercised a day in their lives. I've seen some who looked ready to collapse after the walk-around.
Age is by no means the controlling factor in health and fitness both mental and physical.
As for the death, I have known many 40-50 year olds in great shape who have died from massive heart attacks with no symptoms. My prayers are out to him and his family.
