After Gatwick....
Ok, so... for people following my post, here is some news...
went to the CAA and did the medical.
unfortunately failed, but hope is not lost. I passed everything except one condition: anisometropia (as expected) but found out that my alternating squint is not a problem due to the fact im used to it and no double vision ever occoured, or eyestrain, etc. (e.g. sufficient fusional reserves) So im not exploring the Laser eye surgery way of correcting the anisometropia (because my pre-operative refraction limits are ok)
Interesting to note that Anisometropia has no limits past the initial medical... (so seems a bit silly to be spending €2500 On it, but oh well, rules are rules)
so hopefully, 6 months to a year after that i'll have a class 1
*insert expressions of joy and excitement here*
So, anyone in a similar position to me (or with any doubt about passing a medical) i suggest you go to gatwick and just do one. yes its £310 but if you're seriously considering a career in aviation, its worth every penny just to clarify your individual case.
