China Pilot Medical Failures
Has anyone out there on PPRUNE failed their Chinese initial or renewal medicals, if so, were they justified reasons, how long did it take to get it back, did you get your medical back.
I have talked to pilots working in China and have heard foreign pilots regularly fail their medical renewals. If they fail they burn up their sick leave and then annual leave until its sorted, assuming it is finally renewed. In many cases its not a valid failure as extra medicals tests done at home country prove the failures were unfounded.
Has any pilot pulled them up on it, eg: Just return to home country until its sorted or refused to use up their sick / annual leave, or unnessary extra medical tests.
Apparently its a fairly regular power trip by the CAAC towards foreign pilots.
Any comments from those in the know?
