1 last question please.......
I read that you do a medical as part of the screening process and then another one at some point during the training period. Is this second medical to a higher standard or can you be comfortable that having passed the screening medical you should be able to pass the second one? And if you did fail the second one for something that’s correctable do you think they would work with you or put you out on the street?
Thanks
I don't know the exact standards, but I think the second one is the same or slightly easier than the first. I actually failed the first due to high blood pressure. Did several rechecks after returning home and they accepted my doctors results which were all normal. Guess it was just the stress of the current situation at the time.
So I would hope that if it is something that isn't too serious they would work with you. Of course you never know as some times it seems they make up the rules as they go.
