Deviations stopping
I'm afraid I didnt catch the CAA medical chap's name as there were literally hundreds of people eager to talk to him but he is the top doctor there.
One thing though, if they stop issuing deviations, it wont mean that exisiting deviations become invalid Im sure as that is ridiculous. They would simply make it more simple by easing the restrictions and simply making a Class 1 either a yes or no outcome, as opposed to a maybe.
The CAA are very cagey on the phone and some of the advisors may not actually know about it yet as I get the impression it's meant to be under wraps but we will see. If they intend a change to be implemented in December, it's more likely going to be in the new year I expect.
I also found out that when initially trying to book a Class 1, if you're prepared to have an 8.45am appointment, there is little waiting - a few days but the 12.45pm ones are about a 2 week wait.
f anyone has any other info that would be good.....
