markejackson02 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 My medical is due Jan 2019. Has anyone gone to the AME yet? I assume we can fill out the FAA form and get the medical as long as there are no issues.
RLCarter Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 I would think so, if the website isn’t down
midlifeflyer Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 MedXPress appears to be up and running. And AMEs are paid by you, not the FAA, so they should be available.
Marauder Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 I think the risk is for the those who get deferred or are waiting on an SI approval. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

neilpilot Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 If you only need a 3rd class medical, maybe it's the time to consider BasicMed?

I’m waiting for something I was expecting from that branch in Dec. if certification is truly shut down, won’t this start to eat away at the airlines’ capacity?

It should not unless the AME needs to defer okaying a medical app.
carqwik Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Going for mine on Wednesday, 3rd class. Did the MedXPress today and it worked fine.
RLCarter Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 I just received an email from FAAST about a seminar in Houston next month, like said on another post "government shutdown" basically translates to "No Pay Check" until it's resolved.

I have been a FAAsteam lead rep for about 15 years, and have yet to receive a paycheck in spite of putting on a lot of seminars 3

carusoam Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Hey Lucas, you’re still here? Use some discretion, Lucas... Try not to drag me into the political disaster zone. The CNBC story is about parts of the government that have opened to support business. Including parts of the FAA. Best regards, -a-
