Here here Fans,
Ive been following the issues, as I expect have many ppruners, and small changes are afoot - but as you say the whole situation is unbelievable. The CAA, I have to say, do not seem to like the situation either, and appear to help where they can, but other states have been complaining when the rules are 'bent'. This issue is the only thing stopping me being able to further my career in aviation - very frustrating - especially as I am within the revalidation envelope but not the initial ( for astigmatism ), and I can prove my eyesight hasn't changed in the last 15 years.
I do believe that within the next 5 or so years most of these limits will be abolished - but for me that means the big buses are probably out.
Like you I have been wondering about the legalities of these criteria, it wouldn't do any harm to have a sniff around - any legal types have any comment?
Regards
LF
