The problem that anyone with a medical restriction has is that they are competing against hundreds of applicants who do not have a restriction so why should the operator hire someone with a restriction? This is especially true if you have low hours.

If you’re experienced with a valid type rating and a couple thousand hours or more then that should stand you in good stead especially if you only lost your medical recently, for a short period of time and you’re in recent flying practice.

Failing that if you have a network of friends that fly and can recommend you for jobs that are not widely advertised and subjected to such stiff competition or you can seek employment with an operator in a non flying capacity ie cabin crew, engineering, dispatch etc and get to know the recruiters within the company and make a good name for yourself.

Best wishes and good luck with your search
