Post his event they made him fly privately with QFI only as a mitigation as out of 100 Jims much more than 1% will suffer an incident, not going to be a fun day for the QFI though as Jim's 10 through 38 keel over and not appropriate to have it occur in a commercial context i.e. multicrew as a mitigation (although it could be feasible in a younger, less comorbid individual as their culminative hazard would be less but that's a different story).
Sophistry.

Out of 100 Jims much more than 1% would have suffered an incident in their 75th year. Yet CASA issued him with a Class 1 medical certificate. That, as I understand it, is FE’s point.

And post event nobody “made” Jim do anything. He was free to fly as a passenger in any aircraft he liked and CASA couldn’t do anything about it.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that Jim’s scenario is a complete fabrication.
