If the RAF allows serving pilots to have corrective vision then why does it prevent new recruits from wearing glasses?
At the end of the day, if they are swamped with wannabe pilots then they are right to choose those with perfect vision. However, there is said to be a shortage of them at the moment so it seems strange to me that they are black listing thousands of potential recruits even before they have had a chance to show what they can do.
It costs money to train people; if your eyes start going when you’re in training it’s cost effective to allow you to correct your vision.
If you’ve got dodgy eyes when you start it’s a gamble and there’s not enough money to waste.
PS Try more than one post on each thread otherwise you will confuse me.
PPS This sounds like a good thread to start:
The top brass in the British military have long had a big question mark over many of their decisions, and this appears to be another one.
