Especially when recurrent suggests it is a common occurrence when its only been twice. I think they're looking at the issue in general, not the specific precipitating factors. I am also aware of others flying with their Class 1's who have the same issue. I believe the issue lies in the fact that EASA has no regulations in Part-MED regarding phobias.
