Negative - it will probably take some time.
I submitted my response in favour of the changes. I contacted the CVDPA who said it could be in reality be 'months' before we hear of any final decision.
Whilst I'm here - has anybody got any experience of CVD people being issued with airside driving permits? I'm looking into a career change and an old colleague at Brize Norton passed the colour perception test with ChromaGen glasses.
The crazy thing is I could taxi an aircraft around an airfield, at night, without a night rating - but probably not drive a car?
