>>1185540To the anon from the previous general, thanks for the links. I looked up the Civil Aviation Authority guidelines, and their only available things for psychology and psychiatry to see if GID was covered in their list, but no. Best I can find is this guideline
www.caa.co.uk/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=4294973699 which is incredibly generalised. The EASA doesn't have anything stated about medicals, only that they will recognise the medicals from certain national aviation authorities and grant it EASA recognition. The Irish Aviation Authority has nothing, neither does the Luftfahrt Bundesamt (German aviation authority) or Austrocontrol (the Austrian aviation authority).
I already know that since I have asthma, I would have to go through additional testing, but based on their guidelines, I have nothing which should be disqualifying.
The FAA, which I do know has many agreements with the EASA and shared standards, seems to be the only place which has this kind of information. Seemingly though, the FAA guidelines only state that if you're applying after 5 years after SRS or 5 years after starting HRT, then you have no issues. If you're within the 5 years, you have to go through additional testing, though I doubt that would be much more than a formality if you're a healthy person.
Still, thanks again, that was useful to read. I'd be more inclined to think that cadet programmes would filter trans people out though. Airlines can be, and often are, more strict than AMEs for allowing people to become pilots. I suppose I might just have to throw away my teenage dream of getting into a cadet programme with one of the big European airlines...
