Sunfish,
I've read your comments over the years and have noticed in the last 12 months you get particularly fired up over Qantas issues. There are times when reading pprune adds to my stress levels, could it be the same for you?
If so, log off from PPrune for a few days, and avoid the newspapers and their one-sided Qantas views.

I reckon a bit of time without the class 2 is worth the risk.
for Bad Medicine on this one.
(I don't know why I waited so long to type this but)
CASA with all of their faults are there to help.
The temporary loss of a class 2 is a much better result in the long term.
Imagine the stress the Class 1 holders in command on the "Skippy" A380's have been under lately.
Enjoy the "ground time" and look forward to brighter days with less stress.
to you for using a sound bit of airmanship and grounding yourself.

Thank you all for your advice. I actually got things finally moving with the lawyers yesterday after a beneficiary "folded", which is a relief. Agreements made and signed. The rest is mechanical, but getting to this point was a struggle.
I'm off the grog as of yesterday and discovered that the dog is a really good therapist. Now off for a long walk along the beach with said therapist.

Sunfish,
Full marks for your stress disclosures and flying ban. You might like to look at some of the information on the web site Assure Programs - Home Page.
They are my company's employee personal consultants.
My greatest concern is the fatigue that you may be experiencing through lack of sleep as this can have long term medical problems.
I happen to facilitate human factors programs for my company, and fatigue has the greatest multiplying effect in making errors.
Even though you are not flying also watch your driving.
Good to see you are now dealing with the situation and dogs are great therapists
Good luck
