Really would like a general timeline as we all would like to plan our lives out. Any help is appreciated thanks.
I'm also working on getting my special issuance and my paperwork is in DC right now. Currently at month 9 since the process began. I pilot with worse conditions in my category took 13 months to receive his special issuance. This is my second time around so there's no telling what that means for me. However, my AME is very optimistic that I will receive my SA and fly again.
Don't lose hope. Find something to entertain your mind, look into work in a different part of the industry.
