I agree with whoever thinks I was stupid in not doing my class medical before the ATPL, unfortunately I realise it only now;
I find myself broken, my dream apart now that I was, somehow, after years, able to see the dream of a childhood, getting closer.
Does any of you went through this?
Is any way you can turn around a FAIL in the class 1? I attended my visit in the UK CAA.
I believe the standards are the same for any EASA country can any confirm this?
I really don’t know what to do, I find myself pretty lost.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS POST, YOU PLAN TO GO COMMERCIAL AND YOU HAVENT DONE YOUR MEDICAL, DO IT!!
I’LL ENSURE YOU YOU AVOID LOTS OF DISAPPOINTMENT.
My sympathy regarding your plight, but the very first thing you would do before embarking on any commercial airline training scheme is to get your Class 1 first. Most of the commercial schools and BALPA stress this point very forcibly.
