Make the effort - if only to see if you actually want to do this job.
What will be your answer to "have you visited any units?, do you know what this job entails?"
The LASIK - I'm afraid I don't know - but again I would have thought that one of the first things to have done would be to contact medical branch - what a waste of your time so far if you won't be able to get a medical.

Well...thanks for all of the advice (however frank it may have been!). The kind people at Glasgow Airport have agreed to show me around so I have prepared a list of questions which i will ask them.
With regards to the LASIK I have looked over the information provided by the CAA for the Class 1 Medical and they state that those who have had the LASIK procedure may pass the Class 1 Medical providing that 3 months have passed without complication since the surgery (this applies to me so everything is fine on that front).
Thanks again.
