I just called the Medical Division to try and see if my Class 1 with short-term deviation was safe until I completed CPL training...
They appear to know nothing about the deviation route for class 1s being stopped; they would like to know the name of the person who advised that the deviation route would be stopped within the next few weeks.
Socloss (or anybody else): did you catch the name of the doctor who was at the Flyer conference on Saturday and told you that they would be stopped imminently?
I've got a short term deviation based on excess astigmatism and if the new standards are applied and the deviation route removed, it looks as though I'll be stuffed
