I’m not sure if anyone has ever seen this or knew if it was acceptable. I’m currently still in OJT and got to my facility a month ago after the academy. I need surgery on one of my shoulders that will require it to be in a sling for 6 weeks.

I know I can’t work position on any medications which would be the first 2 weeks, but I didn’t know if there was any rule about working in a sling on position.

I’m going to talk this out with my union rep too, but I thought I would ask here first. Thanks!
 
I’ve seen people work in slings. Also some of those drugs have like 2 week DQs after you stop taking them so you need to talk tot he flight surgeon about that.
