Now here's an indication as to the way NATS Hr think:
A friend of a mate, an ATCO with 18 years experience and all the ratings (except area), emailed his application and was told that he wouldn't be considered because his eyesight didn't meet current CAA Class one medical standards.
The person involved had renewed his class one certificate at Gatwick in Dec 05, and whilst he does wear specatacles his corrected eyesight exceeds CAA requirements by some way.
When he told HR the above, they asked him to email them with the "nature of his complaint" as they couldn't, perhaps understandably, discuss it over the telephone.
That was 6 weeks ago and he's heard nothing.
