I'm meant to be starting officer training in the near future as a pilot, have passed the final medical and have signed and sent off a form declaring that I have not suffered any injuries since then
However, by an unfortunate twist of fate, I have subsequently just had an emergency operation to save the vision in one of my eyes following an freak injury that the doctors cant explain.
I would like to get a bit of advice as to where I stand.
As I have not started training yet and have suffered a major injury, what is likely to happen?
a)immediate discharge (or something similar) and start looking for a job in civvy street.
b) put on sick pay and wait and see if I manage to recover my vision totally (a slim possibility)
I have no intention of deceiving the powers that be and they will be notified very very shortly, but I would just like a bit of info/advice about where I stand before I tell them and gets things put in concrete so to speak. I was wondering if I had any rights or if I can expect anything in this situation.
I am pretty much resigned to option a, but I thought i'd sound it out on pprune in case anyone has come across something similar with a positive outcome.
Thanks
