APenNameAndThatA Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 So, CASA decided to big note themselves by postponing pilots needing to submit medicals. Consequence a) the postponement cones to an end, causing consequence b) they get a rush of applications, causing consequence c) above. Aren’t managers supposed to think ahead? 1
Thruster88 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Anyone without special conditions on their class 2 medical can have it renewed by most DAME without any casa involvement. That has been my experience.
440032 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 As long as the DAME is a "DAME2" - and many are not - they didn't want the liability or the fluffing around to get it.
poteroo Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Was told by Avmed 3 weeks ago that I'd better relax and chill - they were looking at 6-8 weeks to process a Class 1 or 2, (with conditions applying). After several requests for ever more detailed reports, my grounding has now run out to 16 weeks. Just when we had more students thru the door than in the last 15 years! Time to retire, methinks. not so happy days atm.

Never tell CASA that you are losing filthy money due to delays - their charter does not cope with that! It's like a red rag to a bull.
