News I can use. Thank you much gig. Is there still an option on SKW's site to print out my app? Have looked up and down it but can't find the option. Knew how to on Airapps. Must be missing something..

I never noticed if there was a place to print out my application. They just told me to fill it out if I hadn't already. They didn't need to see it during the interview. Same basic information was on my resume.

Have all the other prerequisites and have actually been hitting the books and sim since getting word about this. Thanks..
Don't forget that your 1st class medical has expired for 1st class privileges and is not valid for 2nd class privileges either. It down grades straight to 3rd class. But either way still interview, tell them why it lapsed and that you can easily get a 1st class renewed.

Not sure where you got your information from, but you are incorrect.

well i guess if he is over 40 then its true, it goes from 1st class for 6 months then 2nd class for 6 months. but if you're under 40 then your 1st class is valid for 1 year and then reverts to 3rd class

First I ever heard that. Over 40 1st=6mo/2nd=1yr./3rd=2yrs. Not cumulative...Something changed for us over 40 folks other then needing the EKG annually?

Thanks.

I'm 24,
If I get my 1st class medical Jan 1st 2015, its valid for 12 months for 1st class privileges, after Jan 31 2016 it goes to 3rd class privileges only for the remaining 48 months. There would be no 2nd class priviledges. (I can however get a 1st class medical and use 2nd class privileges for 12 months as well, but still it goes to 3rd class medical privileges after Jan 31st 2016).

I'm over 40
If I get my 1st class medical Jan 1st 2015, its valid for 6 months for 1st class privileges, 6 months it allows me to still use 2nd class privileges for the remaining 6 months (because 2nd class medicals privileges are valid for a full 12 months no matter how old you are) but my medical will revert to only 3rd class privileges after a full 12 months (Jan 1st 2016) and be valid for the remaining 12 months.

Once you are over 40 yes you also need the ekg exam. My AME said they will typically do a base line exam around 35.

Gotcha. EKGs are only required for every other medical; once every 12 months.
