You can have a class1 and suffer with asthma.It really depends how bad it is.I have a class1 and suffered when i was a kid and sometimes when i get the flu but not too much.
Tell the CAA when you apply and they do your beathing test,then get you to run around their carpark until you are ready to collapse.(A nurse watches you by the way)Then they do the test again and compare the two.Don`t know what the limits are though?.
All I can add to this is be straight with them in the beginning and write down any perscribed drugs you may be on,the one i`m on i can`t even pronounce!.
So now you only have to wait for someone to pipe in with the,`If you do you won`t get employed anyhow`,lame quote and that should do it.Bear in mind the people who quote that are just pissed cose they can`t fly properly even when they can breath OK.Good Luck.
