Hi Matt
I know the frustration you're going through! I learnt to fly in 1976 and progressed to an ATP and eventually got into the national carrier in 1988. However, in 1992 I suffered a seizure and no EEG's or brain scans could prove any problems - the airline grounded me and I lost my medical. I have no history of head injuries or epliepsy in the family either.
I ended up undergoing neurosurgery in 1994 and after a long and frustrating fight
managed to regain a "co-pilot only" restricted medical five years later. After collecting many reports, undergoing numerous neuro assessments and hounding the CAA continuously, this restriction was finally eased to "as or with a co-pilot" last year and I finally achieved my goal in life a few months ago and now occupy the left seat on an airliner!
NEVER SURRENDER; IT WILL PAY OFF EVENTUALLY!!
