Angry KAL and medical

Hi buddies,

I am just back from KAL interview. They are quite straight forward in their approach and you are well briefed about do's and dont's.

I passed the sim check withut problem. The nest day medical:

I was surprised (not in a pleasant way) to hear that they would not let me work for them because of the bypasses I have. Korea does not allow a (ex) heart surgery...
I am going home and will fly next week my B744 at KLM. Very annoying these medicals standars differences. I did advise KAL of my history before getting there.... They agreed and let me come from the other side to let me know, after the sim check that I am not fit for them.
Crazy world...JAA medical are suppose to be high standards...Why arn't we trying, as pilots to standardize a little our medicals?
ARINC has done that with succes...Why not the medicals?

Greetz,
Lion
