Good News in the Airline Industry - Surely Not

Just phoned those lovely people at the CAA to move the date of my medical and was told that I'd get £85 back as the no longer carry out ECG's. So its now £337 for the full shebang.

So all those starting out, the class 1 medical no longer costs an arms and a leg, merely an arm and everything from the knee down

It's the EEG that has been removed.

There is a thread in the medical forum about it.

Why do it if it's not fun?

The EEG? Was that the bit with the really gorgeous nurse, and the flashing lights that send you to sleep? That's a pity - was the most fun part of the whole medical!

Brain become unfashionable with JAA

Whilst the brain is deemed unimportant in flying these days pilots do continue to need heart ....

Talking Doh!

Oops . . . look at me getting my abbreviations mixed up, how un PC. I am such a silly SoB . . LMAO, I can only apologise for the typing error on my IBM PC. I must get my finger out of my behind PDQ or I will definetly fail my PPL, CPL and APTL and the CFI will be on my case. I hopefully will learn all new abbraviations from my CD-ROM's so this doesn't happen in future.

Anyone know where I left my REM and ELO CD's.
