But I don't want them flying me anywhere.

Absolutely, but that responsibility is on the pilot, not the employer. Perhaps that should change. I think that should only be for jobs where you're in charge of other peoples' safety - there's no sense in denying someone a job in an office because they've a history of suicidal thoughts; but absolutely if they're a pilot as an example.

All of this is really unsettling me, I'm flying to Belgium on Friday

You know my feeling on this... you should be wrapped in bubble-wrap whenever you're not tucked up in bed. Oh, and get a rail so you don't fall out.

I don't know about other airlines but my brother flies for BA and they have quite stringent tests every 6 months to ensure their safety to fly. I know he has to have regular medicals but am not really sure what they would entail.
