Leeway from the CAA!!! this is a joke right? According to them I do not have stereoscopic vision, which they say prevents me from judging distances, they say I should not be able to taxi or even park the aircraft safely let alone land the thing. Odd then that I have in excess of 100 hrs and had no problems what-so-ever. I have found so many arguements against their decision to not allow me a class one, but they are unrepentant.
I plan to get my ATPL in the States, I already have my FAA class one and hope to start the training before the end of the year. Maybe you could consider this route too. FAA medicals can be done at Airport Medical Services, Posthouse Hotel, Gatwick for around £70, a wee bit cheaper than the CAA equivalent.
Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed here are mine and I urge anyone to decide on the validity of the arguements themselves.
Go for your dreams and don't let any person, organisation or nation stand in your way

p.s. don't bribe them! blackmail is so much more fun!
