I rang up Qantas Health Services again, and got a different person, but this was acutally better, because he was a more "in-charge" person. So I explained my difficulties about having no control over when I got the booking information, and therefore not necessarily being able to put my medical clearance form in with the requisite 5 days of lead-time, and he was so nice and helpful; he said that when I did get the information, fax the form in as per the normal proceedure, and then give him a call (he gave me his direct line) and he would arrange for the engineering people to be there as is required.

Apparently they don't need a special plane or anything (which makes sense, since I know from my work that international aircraft are often assigned to a particular flight about a month beforehand) but they have the engineering people there to plug in the machine and make sure that it works okay before the flight.

This is such a weight off my mind! Whoopee!

It pays to be assertive. Go you.

(Send us postcards from the UK :)

Heh, I wasn't being assertive, I was just being... investigative. I wanted to find out what would happen if things didn't go right. He was the very nice person who made this offer.

Send you postcards? But I'd be back before they arrived....

I get firmly reminded every time I go away that my coworkers expect postcards (actually, I suspect it's so they know I haven't got lost)... so last time I simply took a week off but didn't leave, I sent them one of 'greetings from' our own town.

Glad things are looking up, but at this rate, with the swings and roundabouts, you'll be exhausted before you even get on the plane...
