From Clinton's original post:
I note also that CASA seized upon the specialist’s opinion about my not meeting the class 1 standard as being relevant to my not meeting the class 2 standard. Setting aside the obvious point that I don’t need to or want to meet the class 1 medical standard, this is yet another example of CASA relying on my specialists’ opinion as an objective truth only when it is unfavourable to me.
Does this suggest that if you are denied a Class 1 medical for any reason, say aeromedical risk, that you are also ineligible to be granted a Class 2?
I thought the whole purpose of the two different classes is that they represented differing levels of aeromedical risk. That is why CASA moved to allow DAMEs to issue Class 2 medicals on the spot, unless one had an excluded medical condition?
