Great read that letter.

Picking up a point in it tho, just thinking about a friends fight to get his Class 2 medical back (prostrate)...

This involves
conditions such as head injury, hearing, cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer, where the
opinions of the pilots own specialist doctors are ignored
A similar sentence to this appears later in the letter.
However, in my mates case, CASA have also been ignoring the reports of the specialists that CASA has sent the man to...at his own expense.

Sorry it just beggars my understanding that they can send someone to CASA's own nominated specialist, and then reject that person's ok to fly advice
