Hey, I'm 21, with a class 2 medical certificate. I'm currently about 2 weeks from submitting my application to the CTC Wings programme. The only thing that I believe is keeping me from the flight deck is my weight. I'm 6 foot and 2 inches tall, and I currently weigh in at 17 stone and 5 pounds. I have lost about 2 and a half stones since I passed my class two, and since I decided on my career, lost about 4 stone in total. Now I don't want to go down to Gatwick, pay up my 600 or so quid, and then be told "go away fatty". The AME who did my class 2 only mentioned my weight at the time, and as I have lost so much since, I want to know how much more I need to lose to pass a class 1, as the amount I need to lose will influence my timeframe.
Obviously being in peak fitness is one of my top priorities, but that is going to take time as I was a particularly lardy teenager, but I need to know how long before I can pass my medical. If that makes sense.
Cheers in advance for any answers.
