[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 1000439, member: 74042"] I would liken that to my situation with an offshore clearance (I've also signed the OSA at some point in my career), where I need to jump through all sorts of hoops to demonstrate good control, hypo awareness, self management etc, but then any platform operator can reject me without specifying any reason, and any individual medic can doo the same. I'm currently involved in a rather pointless discussion about the process safety risk of my pump, being questioned by a medic who is unaware that I'm extremely experienced in that area and that's part of why I'm going to that platform. :banghead: There are though, certain jobs which are very tough to get a clearance for as a T1D, such as helideck crew, crane operator etc. because of the potential outcomes if things go wrong. I would guess that is some of the thinking behind your situation, but I would argue a risk-based approach in any case. [/QUOTE]
