arthritis rheumatoid
Posted: 12-11-2009, 11:53 AM

I have not been told I have it, but I was wondering if I am told I have rheumatioid arthritis, will this effect my chances of getting in the FAA?
I am currently in the military and was wondering if you think they will medically retire me for this condition if i have it? Any info will help,
Thank you,

Everything depends on how bad the symptoms are, what treatment you are undergoing, the side effects of the treatments. The FAA is looking at the ablilty to perform job duties.
