Joe1990 asked:
I am 17 years and always wanted to be a pilot with RAF. Have just been rejected because I had ‘asthma type symptoms’ when I was younger, although was tested for asthma and the diagnosis was negative. However they now say that because I am sensitive to respiratory conditions I can never fly. I don’t have any problems now and you will be hard pushed to find anyone fitter than me. Are the medical rules the same for commercial pilots?
