My husband , Major airline jet engine mechanic just received his ICD 8 weeks ago. He cannot return to work as the airline does not know what the magnetic fields/electrical fields are in and around running aircraft. Medtronics nor the physicians have no exp and no research related to the hazards of airline work and ICD/Pacemakers.Just running cars and arc welders as if that is what everyICD patient does for a living. The airline has been asked to hire an enviromental eng to complete the testing.
Anyone seen any literature on aircraft mechanics and ICD. and magnetic fields levels from runnng engines.

I Have Had Problems with Engines

If you will go to the Interferences section, you will find two postings by me in which I talk about jet engine interferences with my PM. I think the issue is resonant oscillation at a frequency that interferes with my PM when a jet engine is running at abnormal speeds. My earlier post down the page details the issue an update later tells of mechanics with a major airline telling me what they thought about it. They are the source of the resonant oscillation theory. I am 100% sure that I have had interference from jet engines on 3 different occasions and it was not pleasant. My PM is 10 years old, so the new ones may not have the problem. It is unknown at this time. Please let me know what the airline folks tell you.
