The unquestionable data from the USA, Canada and Australia reveals how 'dangerous' CVD pilots really are - in fact, it is quite interesting to note that each of these countries permits CVD pilots to fly commercially (in Australia, at night also) yet, statistically, over the same time period their safety records are far better than those of many other countries, including certain JAA member states.

Yet they choose to ignore that data in favour of their own very flawed, archaic and biased arguments.
These are very important points indeed.

The very fact there aren't any safety issues abroad illustrate that similar standards should be made available worldwide, across the board. There shouldn't be any issue of one aviation authority being stricter than the others over a thing that does not vary from birth to death.

Ultimately things will even out, Human Rights are important. It's just a matter of when and how.

Maybe when William comes into power
