This year, they are very slow sending out my new licence and I am then forced to ring up and get a 1 month extension, so that I can keep working as a airline Captain!! Their excuse is that they have a massive back log and the doctors can't cope. Is there any thing that I can do to force them to process my licence??. I am now on my third extension, which means that I will soon be due again for my 6 monthly medical, having not received my previous medical!!
They are shockingly bad... I send an email to avmed then call a few hours later on the same day as I finish my medical.. In the last two years it hasn't taken me long than a month to get it back... Sadly its luck of the draw... But i get up them straight away.
