Isn’t it about time that we admit that Pilot medicals are outdated and just not required
Yes they are outdated. Non commercial medicals are becoming less common. I would argue commercial medicals need to use modern technology more. More carotid ultrasound, more coronary CT. However the big issue is that the regulators themselves admit they cant keep up with changing healthcare and changes to life expectancy because they dont have the money to develop new policy.
