Now let's get a couple of things straight. I hold a class 1 medical. I do not drink alcohol at all. Listerine can put me over! How is that a fair process given that CASA will launch into a medical clearance requirement to prove you're not an alcoholic?!?
Lets look at another thing, I have at times back problems which do not affect my ability to fly. My DAME is certain of that. I am prescribed Voltaren to help with the pain when required. I have no idea what is in that, but am I going to be without work for a week because CASA will assume I'm a druggo for utilising a prescription drug?
This is such a poorly thought out and implemented scheme that I'm amazed it has gained this much traction and was actually approved. Who are these idiotic paper pushers? I'm trying to plan a meeting with my local member with regard CASA and this useless paperwork is part of it, as well as the stupid wrong plastic calendar tent thing. You want a fight CASA? You're going to get it from the whole industry.
