FAA Medicals Now Last Longer For Younger Pilots

[flyinboxes]

If only they would require over 60 guys to see the AME every 3 months.

Every 3 days would be better.

Back to the original question....with the new rule in effect, will NetJets allow their pilots under age 40 to get a 1st class every year, or will they still require a new medical every 6 months despite your age?

to answer your question yes a new first class within the last six months... untill we are told other wise prior protocal is still in effect... after yor hired FO may let it laps to 12 months, pic 6 months...

thanks for the link DC9

If the Captain is under 40, they should be able to go a full year between first class medicals. Getting it every 6 months would be like renewing the old ones every 3 months. Just waistin' money.

and the F/O should be able to let it laps to a secondclass AFTER the first year and then be legal for the remainder of the 2nd class.

If netjets doesn't change their policy, I bet you could see litigation against them by the younger pilots, and the law would be on their side.

 

[Ben Johnson]

no we don't bit the hand that feeds

differance between jeffery dalmer and a netjets pilot...

we eat every leg

 

[glasspilot]

why don't we allow just a smidge of time to allow NetJets to respond to the recent rule change.


I bet one hundred gazillion dollars to your nickel they will not require Captains under 40 to get a medical every 6 months. I also bet they allow people to interview with a valid (in the eyes of the FAA) first class medical.

Was that in an email or posted somewhere else?

Can a company, any company, use the FAR's as a guideline and require their own standards re: medicals? For Example, could a 121 operator REQUIRE their F/O' to keep a first class even thought they were not typed and not a PIC?
