Hello guys, I am now 21 year-old and I am planning to apply for the cadet program of Cathay Pacific next year. However, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after experiencing 'thyrotoxic periodic paralysis'. Fortunately, after a month of medication, the condition has already been under control and the thyroid activity has returned to normal level.

I am deeply concerned that such medical history will affect my application of the program. Although controlled hyperthyroidism isn't a disqualifying condition for Medical Class One according to ICAO, I have heard from some aviation influencers working for Cathay that candidates with certain medical history will still be disqualified despite the acquisition of Medical Class One. Does anyone know what kind of medical history is unacceptable to Cathay? Thank you so much.
