I beg to differ Toolong. The medical I did out here in the middle east was much more thorough than any I did in Fiji.
Also, I think it depends on which Dr. you go to in Fiji. Some are a bit more stringent than others.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few rejects(not just medically challenged ones either) finding their way into AP. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel now. There are still good expat pilots in AP but many have left, to be replaced by,well.....you know....con men, bull **** artists etc. What do you expect with the kind of money AP offers?
Pity. Once upon a time it was a lovely airline to work for; for both expat and local alike
