Hmmm, interesting stuff this. I've never really taken much notice of the medicals - just turn up and pass was always my attitude. In fact just renewed my class 1 last week without trouble.
Have a friend of mine (see post in Middle East forum) who had his suspended for a couple of weeks last year due to headaches he was getting all the time - checked him out turned out to be blocked sinuses and gave him the medical straight back.
He now has (I think) applied for a job at EK and has been worried sick that any kind of suspension of his medical would be curtains for his application. I asked the question on the ME forum and no-one seemed too concerned.
I, like him, though had always thought that a suspension of your medical is something of a 'black mark' on your record and would be a hinderance to applying for jobs in the future. Is that so? Anyone with any experience of this? It would be good to hear your experiences.
It's something I've never really thought about before.
Cheers
