I would like to know what's the colour vision standard in CX?

What kind of colour vision test is used during medicals?

Million thanks

Thanks a36pilot

However, do they accept a guy who passed the other tests, like the lantern test, but NOT the plates test?

Is anyone from CX in such a situation?

Million thanks again.

I was wondering the very same thing, GFS. I'm in the same position as you. I can pass a lantern test with no mistakes but I am only able to see a few of the plates. I wonder how CX will view that.

For the moment, I am afraid...all semantics. All hiring and recruiting has ceased pending the end of the SARS crisis. 19 aircraft grounded, 1/3 of all flights ceased, talk of all pax flying to end.
