Medical
Quite staggering.
Have had to have a yearly medical for my (non-aviation) job every year for the last 5 years, even though I'm in my thirties.
Is often twice as rigorous as this, lasts half a day & is done privately & has NEVER cost more than 350 euros (call it 250 pounds).
What are we talking.....experts please pile in here....75% mark-up. This from a "government" agency.
Again, staggering.
