As opposed to finding pilot and other airline positions, federal regulations, according to Epilepsy.com, in effect, bar anyone with a history of epilepsy, who have been diagnosed with epilepsy or who have experienced a "disturbance of consciousness without a satisfactory medical explanation of the cause," from obtaining any type of pilot's license.
Under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, in order to obtain a pilot's license for commercial, private or transport purposes, the applicant must obtain a medical certificate from an FAA-approved physician. In order to obtain such a certificate, however, an individual cannot have any established medical history or diagnosis of epilepsy or disturbance of consciousness (Title 14 of the Code the Federal Regulations, Part 67 entitled, "Medical Standards and Certification").
