My opinion is just ring them and voice your concerns.
Don't give a name or anything just ask them.
As long as your BP is OK and you have no heart probs then I cannot see it being too much trouble.
I am not an expert-don't get me wrong.
Just my thoughts on the whole issue.
Get the facts from THEM.
Take care now and good luck!
Cheers VFE.

When I had my class 1 last time, I asked on behalf of a friend. He's 6 foot 6 and weighs about 19 - 20 stone. The doc said he's probably be ok. He's also terribly scarred from operations as a child. The doc said that would probably be ok too.
They're not looking for the perfect human in a class 1 as I found out. Just a normal one.

Hi,
I'm sure that you would be OK. As long as your BP is within the range, they should be happy.
When I asked the Doc what tests they did on the blood sample, he said that they also check your cholesterol levels. This is to determine whether you are likely to have a cardiac event. Assuming these are OK, I'm sure you will be fine.
The only problem you may have is that you may find it a bit cramped in the RHS of a 737-200.........talk about cramped!

VFE - glad to hear that you got your Class 1 without any probs.

Yes lot of problems. I am 183cm (6 ft) and 110 kg They want me to be 90 kg. Old records had me at age 16 70 kg. had recent Class 1 rejected. Got it back when I BITCHED like HELL.Sent the a**e hole assessing quack an outline tracing of my hands and feet as well as wrist and knee measurements. Told them next time I would send them photos of myself and 6 mates naked ( masked ) and if they could not pick me they should resign. Everything else is very good
