Pilot medical usable for CC?
Hey,
Just wondering if a medical/ eye check from a DAME for a PPL would be sufficent during airline recruitment - have read that most of you have been required to pass a medical when going for CC jobs. If I already have one that's approved by CASA (when going for a job with an Aus airline) would I still have to do another one for the airline? Surely it'd be a waste of time and money if I'm already checked out by an aviation doc....
Or do they like to make sure all your med stuff is up-to-date and 'above board'?
If I did need medical/ASIC check etc, how much would I be looking at for these, and does having a National Police Certificate help in any way?
Ta for info....

No, you can't use it (well not for Qantas anyway).
I have a Class 1 medical each year and when I joined Qantas I had to have the QF medical.
The National Police Certificate is of little use to you, as a separate check is conducted which includes an AFP, ASIO, ACS and DIMIA check.

Hmmm. You have a point there. When you put it like that, one fifty is small change!!
