Gentlemen. For me this is a beautiful day. I join you from Starbucks in Zurich city centre having just caught the train from Dubendorf where I successfully passed the Spectrolux lantern test.
Having taken every other test available, this really was the last chance saloon under the current ludicrously irrelevant JAA testing and evaluation regime. Despite the sweaty palms I was put at ease and went through the test with zero mistakes.
Whilst obviously I am now happy, I am also angry, disillusioned and disappointed that I had to go this far to reach my goal. The money I have had to expend on flights, trains, hotels, test fees amounts to a full ATPL groundschool package!! Not to mention the time off work to go to Gatwick, to go to City Uni... the list goes on.
If anything this has made me more resolute than ever to pursue an agenda of change and modernisation in terms of colour vision testing.
Best regards,
Shunter (CP3 - Colour Safe, finally!)
