Perfect Vision for Aircrew Applicants
Given that my new issue specs don't fall down my nose when pulling g, and that contact lenses are allowed (despite a few issues) - do we still need to insist that new Aircrew applicants have to have good uncorrected vision?
Aptitude standards have both gone up and down, but medical requirements seem fixed (in the past?). Given the need for new Aircrew, are we excluding a group of otherwise suitable applicants?
I buy into the need for the 9g Typhoon mate to be (initially) free of glasses, but I question 20/20 for ISTAR, 2 Gp or JHC assets. Those desirable Playstation systems operation skills come at a price - myopia and vitamin D deficiency.....
