restricted class 1 - what are the prospects?

Well after several weeks and many a penny handed over to the caa it looks as though I have managed to obtain an OML restricted class 1 medical on the grounds of suffering from long qt syndrome.

Now this is great bit I'm a little concerned about the future and my desirability as a potential employee. Going from the advise from the caa, there is very little difference in real life terms between a normal class 1 and a restricted class 1, but will airlines shy away from employing someone without a "full" medical?

I assume if I had been flying for 30 years and my medical was restricted it wouldn't be an issue, but would a new freshly qualified pilot have little chance of employment?

Thanks
