Do I take the plunge?
I have a tricky decision to make.
I have been deemed worthy to part with a lot of cash and train at OAT this summer and have just received my JAA Cat 1 medical certificate. The snag is this: I have an existing renal 'condition' that could cause me problems in the future and might result in me losing my medical certificate.
My question is: Assuming I don't lose my medical certificate, will having a pre-existing medical condition count against me when I eventually start applying for jobs?
I know it is hard to answer this without knowing specifics but I was hoping to find out what happens during the various airlines' assessment processes; do they simply ask whether you have a JAA Cat 1 or do they dig a little more deeply?
Many thanks,
