RPM,
Congrats on the job...
I was just wondering why AMR Corp. still has such an extensive medical exam? It seems a bit outdated to me.
I guess the main reason I ask this is my best corrected distant acuity in my left eye is 20/25 and I have a slight red/green color deficiency (LOL, sometimes I ask why I chose this profression!
...I honestly don't have any problems flying, and I'm at the CFI level).
What sort of color vision testing do they do? I can't make out the last couple Ishihara color plates but have taken an alternate FAA test and have no restrictions for that matter. I have a first class with a waiver for the acuity, but I know for some airlines that won't cut it. Do you think Eagle would be one of these airlines? Other airlines that I know of off the top of my head that have additional medical requirements (i.e. - doesn't just say "First Class Medical) are obviously mainline AA, ASA, and Alaska (Horizon surprisingly will accept just a 1st class).
Congrats again...have fun with the new job
