Hello Capn Bug Smasher,
Thank you for your valuable input. I am indeed considering the option of continuing in the Cathay Pacific pipeline while simultaneously working towards obtaining my Class 1 medical certificate. Your suggestion aligns with the advice I received from some experienced pilots.
May I ask if you have personal experience with color vision deficiency or if you know of any Hong Kong-based pilots who have gone through the process of obtaining their Class 1 medical with color vision challenges? Any insights or contacts within Cathay Pacific's in-house aeromedical staff or flight instructors who have experience with SLT, MFT, or OCVT would be incredibly beneficial.
Your guidance is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Gf0rce
