The story is like this. In January 2017 I applied for a class 1 medical in Czech Republic, but I failed it due to my color vision deficiency and I got a class 2 medical limited to day time only. When I found out, I was a bit devastated cause I had no idea about my condition.
But then, 3 months after, I went to Italy and they granted me a Class 1 medical after I failed Ishihara, but passed Beyne Lantern test and I was considered Chromatically Safe.
In 2019 I have initiated the transfer to AustroControl for my license and medical because of the CPL and MEP examiner availability ( much faster than CZ)
During this process, a very slow one, they couldn't transfer my medical files to Austria because there was no record of a class 1 medical obtained in Czech Republic as I obtained it in Italy in 2017.
Last year, in 2020 I went for an airline interview and I passed it. After this, they asked me if I am able to pay 30k for the type rating and I took the shoot.
This year I've started the TR, and in order to have the rating on my license, I had to transfer it to Ireland and by doing so, I've signed the end of my career as a pilot.
When AustroControl obtained the medical files from Italy, they saw that I failed Ishihara but I passed it with a Beyne Lantern test. It was probably suspicious for them as Czech Republic also failed me for a Class 1.
So what they did is to invite me a couple of days ago in Vienna for a CAD test.
I failed that with flying colors if I might say
My TR stopped immediately obviously and now I have to post my medical to AustroControl.
I've lost time, money, energy and a path. Looking for alternatives at the moment and even consider another country where this is acceptable.
