Despite being interested in aviation from a young age I always thought that not having 20:20 vision precluded me (-2.0 in the left and -2.25 in the right) from airline work. It seems not and after having just found out about this scheme recently, I am looking to apply this year (I am a software engineer at the moment and have been for the past nine years). This thread has been an interesting read over the past couple of weeks that's for certain.
One question I do have is based on the references provided by my current employer - i.e. its company policy not to provide detailed references. HR will provide a letter stating that I worked there and the from and to dates but nothing else, is that likely to be an issue should I get through to the reference checking point?
Thanks.
