Hi guys,

I'm not saying that what you've said is not correct, but it's a bit confusing, and somehow contradicting with the fact that Gulf Air follows JAR-FCL/EASA rules and that it only recruits JAA licenced pilots! How do Gulf Air pilots get treated with their medical licence at this specific situation?
To my knowledge, there are essential differences between FAA and JAA medical guidelines. So what if a pilot with a JAA licence and a JAA medicals doesn't pass the FAA medicals for Bahrain?!!! Do they have at Gulf Air their own criteria for medicals that is different? If yes, please give me an idea about that.

Would appreciate your inputs.


Very similar to the FAA, even down to the EKG. It's not a big deal, it's not a JAA astronaut medical.
When comparing JAA and FAA medicals, each of them is more relaxed in some requirements where the other is more stringent, isn't that true?



Thank you all.
