Red face RAF PILOT OPPORTUNITY, GO ON let us in lads?

I have seen all the latest adds for the RAF and they seem to be on t.v more so recently. I am just curious they seem to have an endless need for pilots or so I gather. Now I know alot of people who hold a JAA class 1 med but because of glasses or contacts are not eligible for a RAF career. Surely it may open a floodgate of appilicants with a real passion for flying and military if they were to be more relaxed on medical standards and were to allow those holding a class 1 med to apply.
I know I would, Qaulified in avionics/communications/electronics/love to be a pilot/ 4yrs military experience corporal(RESERVES)/ BUT very slightly over the eyesight limits for military pilot but I hold a JAA med.
I have a few mates heavily involved in both flying and military and technical background who would kill to get into the RAF.
Is it a possibility or pipe dream MR MOD.
Its a bloody prime time with a gaggle of pilots on the market looking for a career, should the RAF cash in?????
