Class 1 Medical revoked/Out of options
Hi all! The story is a bit long but I will make it short.
I do hold a frozen ATPL and almost got hired by a company in Europe.
Almost, because during the TR I lost my class 1 medical due to the fact that I am color blind and the issuing authority of my first class 1 certificate did not find that out. However, since they mentioned in my file that I failed the Ishihara test but passed the Lantern one, the company wanted me to retest my color vision DURING TR. Which I failed. I am so shocked at this point I really have no idea what to do. I know at FAA they have the occupational test for CVD people but that would mean to go there and pass again CPL checkrides, IR and MEP. Does anybody have an input?? Much appreciated.
