Category 1 Restrictions
Hi I was trying out for Cathay Pacific's cadet program, didnt make it the first time.
I am hoping to go back later in a few years and try again, but I really want to know if I can get a waiver for my Category 1 restrictions. I don't know where you can do it other than the local optometrist and their Farnesworth test... I have been told, they are in accurate, and that results defer at different lighting environment. In addition, Canada doesn't have the light gun test or the FAA special exam.
The problem I have is "colour deficiency" or colour weakness. I am not colour blind, I can tell the different kinds of colours, except a specific shades of colour (like dark blue may look like purple to me) or when you put a collection of similar colour together I get confused. I don't think it is that severe because I can tell the different colours on the street signs and even christmas lights but i dont get how I failed the farnsworth test...
