Abstract
There is debate about whether pilots infected with the human immunodeficiency virus should be permitted to pilot an aircraft. Approximately three in-flight medical emergencies occur each day, with physicians, flying as passengers, responding to 85% of them. There is no evidence that tuberculosis is any more likely to be contracted on a commercial airliner than on any other public conveyance.
