Question

Hello all,

I have a question...I don`t know if it`s been asked.

Say I have a pilot license from another country outside Europe, like a FAA or in my case also a Mexican license. And I have in both cases a class 1 medical.

If I decide to go live and work in Europe in the future I would have to get a JAA (or CAA) Class 1. But say I have a bit more than -6.00 (which is the initial limit). Could they consider giving me a class 1 based on my flight experience in these other countries if I have flown commercially for airlines, having flown with that same prescription (like doing a special assesment)? Or would it be a direct NO if I do my initial?

If it`s a NO, it doesn`t make much sense to me, because of their renewal regulation (no limits).

Thanks for the help
Best,
Arturo
