Could someone tell me why an aircrew pme doesn't count towards any civilian pilot medical?
Simples - because that wont line the CAA's coffers!
The whole thing smacks of mis-management...the Med Centre referred to was never properly established for the tasked of handling two bases worth of Aircrew PMEs. Guess what, everything else has to fail.
So sad that the families lose out, but so are Servicepeople who need bespoke medicals - sport parachuting, boxing and diving are all suffering as they can't get their medicals done there so the sports grind to a halt too.
On top of that, I'm led to believe that the RAF Medical branch is expecting around 12% cuts in the near future...another wheel comes off the cart...
