Anyone know where one would go to see how long one needs to be off certain medications before getting back on flying status? Thanks

You're way senior to me so I'd say you should show up 3-4 hours after taking said medication and don't worry about a thing...you'll be fine.

Just eat a few poppy seed muffins on your way to work. I hear they clear everything out.

I called ALPA aeromedical and spoke with a doctor who had all the details and an explanation for both prescription and over the counter medications.

I thought Big E's advice was the best.

Insurance question

Just curious: My wife is considering retiring a little early from her job, and we are currently using her health insurance. I am assuming we have to wait until next year "open enrollment" to switch to Delta health coverage? I will check tomorrow, but just curious if anyone has experience going through the motions here...

Thanks
