Popular AME?
Just tried to book an appointment for a Class 2 Renewal with the AME I always used when I previously lived in Dorset (after a 3 year period in Scotland). Got told that 'all the appointments for Jan have been issued and he won't be able to see you until Feb'.
Was a bit surprised, as (due to birthday being close after Xmas and my medical expiry having become my birthday since my 40th) I usually just ring up shortly after Xmas and get a choice of dates in Jan.
Does this indicate that I've just got a popular AME, or is the number of medicals being issued rising? This AME is 10 miles from me - the next nearest is 23 miles, also I'm not flying anyway at the moment, so am not in that much of a rush.
