Special Issuance & new hires
Has anyone been denied or granted employment while having a special issuance on their medical?
Well I got my medical but with a special issuance.
The special issuance appears in Limitations as:
Not valid for any class after ___________.
"A year from the date issued"

It shouldn't affect your situation, provided that you have all the necessary documentation to clarify your situation, and can obtain an FAA first class medical.
I know a fellow that has sleep apnea and has a similar limitation. It hasn't had an effect on his being hired, and he recently went through a med screening by a major airline and didn't have any issues.
Just make sure that when you interview (or go for a company physical) you take all of the necessary background documentation that you show to your AME each time you get a medical.

The good news is that the general trend over the last ten years is for airlines to be more lenient towards medical issues.
