I know it's silly to live in a state of constant fear but if it wasn't such a huge financial and personal investment to get to a well paying flying job, it wouldn't be such a concern.
I would suggest once you have the physical medical in your hands it will make it very hard for CASA to take it off you provided you never let it lapse. Would open them up to a huge court case for sure.
