What I meant is that just because one doc says no, doesn't mean that is the end of the line. My flight doc told me (before I went to training) that you can't have any kind of corrective eye surgery. I had friends in pilot training, so I had to get him to look into the reg for me. Not all docs are up to speed on the latest updates. So if one says, no...go to another one, or ask for a second opinion. Don't be afraid to go over their head (just do it as a last resort)...it's your life and your career. I was told to never call Randolph about my medical...when after 5 months of hearing nothing, I finally did and they told me they didn't even have my medical. It was in the system, waiting for a few signatures, AT MY BASE!
FWIW = For what it's worth
If you don't look out for yourself, no one else will! Do not give up until you feel you have sufficiently fought your battle! Where there is a will, there is a waiver...
