Colour deficiency and airline medicals

Hi all

I have slight colour deficiency (green) in both eyes, meaning that I fail the ishihara test, but have sat and passed the farnsworth lantern test. Based on this, I have been able to get a CPL with no restrictions (except glasses) and a NVFR rating. So no real problems here.

My question though, is do airlines (particularly Qantas - should I ever get the opportunity) have standards that are different from CASA's, which may be an obstacle for me in passing their OHA?

many thanks
PSP
