Really feel for you guys trying to make a living from flying.
I fly for fun but still pay for the privilege of bureaucratic incompetence.
Did my medical back on 16th May and apart from the clumsy interface and the pain for the DAME which meant it took twice as long as usual, spiro test etc. included, all went well. Re validation runs out next week. Just got an email yesterday for further tests on my eye sight because I informed them that I had LASEK on one eye back in 2002, a procedure they were informed about at my next medical but now claim I hadn't previously advised. They are asking for details of the surgery from 15 years ago. Not sure why doctors would need to keep records from that far back when the AVMED website doesn't reflect reality form 2 years ago. I've had eye tests every year and medicals including Class 1s while I was in the UK every couple of years but they now need proof that the condition is stable ! Again I fly PPL for fun. Won't be now for a few more weeks/months while I go for another eye test and ask the ophthalmologist to answer as many of the questions as she/he can.
