My drug test was 12/09, everything including MMPI was submitted on 01/06. I called my HR rep yesterday, she hadn't heard anything. I just got news today that I am medically cleared!! My email today came straight from the medical people, the guy that submits it to the flight surgeon. We had been in touch about some paperwork so he emailed me directly. I haven't heard from HR today, I'm sure I won't until everything is in.
Good lord that's insane. Although if you've made it this far in this long and crazy process and that's the only thing holding you up from a career change, it'll be worth it to get it sorted out.
Are you referring to the pre-employment interview worksheet? I went and got all the prescription history I could. I don't have dosage and frequency for some scripts but I'm laying it all out now considering omissions could get you in trouble later. Just be as specific as you can. I wouldn't be too worried about some red flag scripts as long as you can explain them away. But they're gonna want follow up paperwork for things like painkillers and ssri's so get as much as you can now just in case.
Yes the Pre-employment interview worksheet. I am not interested in omissions just getting the most accurate information I can provide! Thanks for the advice!
No problem. I wish I got some of this stuff earlier but then again I thought getting your own medical history would be easier. I only have prescription records going back like 14 years but that would be enough for them to get a good picture.
Call the pharmacy you use. They have records and dates for everything.
I don’t usually call my HR rep because she doesn’t answer. I always call CG (if you know who and have that reps number). She sent my TOL info, but my HR rep wasn’t her. Anyway, she always answers the phone, and if she doesn’t she always calls back in my experience. I would honestly email them because it may be faster. My HR rep never answers the phone but emails quickly.
What is the number for Poughkeepsie?
nvm i realized it was the Wappinger Falls one! lol
Doing that now. Managed to get a few records.
Same. Didn't think it would be so much of a scramble for my information!
This process doesn't make anything easy! I'm in the same boat, trying to figure out the living situation. Also, having the family try to find jobs without knowing where to look, very difficult.
I'm nervous as I'm running in to the same issue. I've only got organized records of the last 3 years, and I've moved far around too much to have a consistent pharmacy. Just going to put what I have and what I can remember taking on a regular basis throughout my adult life, as anything else is long gone.
I highly doubt anyone at the FAA expects you, or anyone else for that matter, to remember, collect records for and hand over your entire medical history record to a T anyway. I tried calling the pediatric office from my childhood and they destroy records for anyone over 21 so there's no way I'm getting those. I'm just trying to put down anything that 1) I can remember and 2) has a paper trail. Being open and honest is all you can do really.
If you're just waiting for the all clear to determine a current living situation I'd definitely ask your HR rep if there is an update. Mine got back to me first thing this morning and said I'm all clear but they can't give additional start dates yet because COVID might change the possible start dates. It at least gave me enough information to realize I shouldn't sign another year lease. The hard part now is finding somewhere that will allow a 6 month lease or month to month lease.
That’s in references to the non-mmpi portion of the medical I’m assuming. What is it that’s holding you up?
