Hi,

Anyone know what their policy is regarding Asthma for the initial medical?

I had it as a child, have since pretty much grown out of it however use the odd inhaler.

I now hold a CAA Class 1 medical however would imagine with the pollutuion issue in HK they might be quite stringent.

Ive currently got an advanced entry application in with them but dont want to waste my time if its a no go!

Done a bit of research on the net and on here before the usual whingers start.

Many Thanks

You have a history of asthma and you are thinking of moving to Hong Kong???:confused:

Fatty

In case you don't get the meaning of the previous post...

IF YOU COME TO HONG KONG THE POLLUTION HERE WILL KILL YOU

Even if you're marginally asthmatic your life here will be a constant series of visits to the doc, a dramatically reduced QoL and URTIs. You're playing Russian Roulette with your life.

Hi fatty Barr,

Its not usually an issue with the CX team, however, they will get you to do a Lung Function Test, which is also called a 6-minute free running test in some countries.

I had childhood asthma and had to do this test. Wasnt an issue for me, and I got my HKCAD medical.

I'd still continue on with your application !

Cheers,
Mark
