Why complain? Get you PPL and get class 1 - CAA say many things, not always logical, however what can we do about it?
Out of limits pre op, they say one day maybe with FAA Commerical we give class 1, next time somebody else call they say they don't give - so you never know the exact answer. Just wait, see and try!
But getting the PPL is easiest thing to do to qualify for class 1 medical, if they told you this 100%, then you should have nothing to worry about.
