Has anyone passed a BNSF medical examination (position-conductor trainee) with a medical history of major back surgery and multiple hernia repairs? I've contacted BNSF HR and asked them this question directly--they declined to answer. I don't want to get to the end of the hiring process (interview this week) only to NOT PASS the medical exam. Regardless of my physical fitness and ability to pass various vocational physical tests, my medical history did preclude me from be hired by a major US airline and being accepted into the US military.
Any information regarding this issue would be of benefit. Thank you
