I see a lot of airline pilots these days with the co-pilot stipulation, it really doesn't affect career airline guys that much, that is if it happens once you are in a multi-crew environment. Getting an unrestricted medical after any health event to do with heart or brain is going to be tough.
Yes, thats a good point. The as or woth co-pilot or safety pilot condition (if applied) will most likely apply to private flying as well as commercial.
You are right, flying in multi crew mightbe easier, as private will depend on your buddy where seats and circumstaces are probably limited.
