Yes sorry Neo they were rather naive comments from myself. To be fair I was just playing devils advocate. I've dipped my toes into this thread every now and again and try to keep up with it's momentum. Not being a commercial airline pilot (Catch 22 coming up)... I can't suggest what tests would be practical and can't genuinely say current CVD tests are inpractical. But then that's becuase of I have no comparison to the real world operation of commercial aircraft. I'm taking a stab in the dark effectively but i'm probably right as you say.
I don't have any examples of saftey violations by pilots with CVD so this backs up our arguement that the filtering in the medicals are probably a bit antiquated. I seem to have the same deficiency as yourself and never seem to have any problems when looking at photos of Papis etc.
Don't worry you didn't offend me. My comments weren't meant to stir the hornets nest in any way. As mentioned they were rather simplistic views on the CVD issue. As we all know it's a lot more compicated than my inexperienced views.
At the end of day i'll always stand up for CVD population and fight our case.
