Now I get it!!!
Now I understand why,in Brazil,we are allowed to fly for as long as our class 1 is valid!!!20 minutes medicals???1 hour medicals??
In here,every 6 months,we have to go to an Air Force Hospital,spend the whole morning and go through lab tests,dentist,hearing test,chest X-ray,clinical tests,cardiology,oftalmology,eletroencefalogram,every once in a while a little chat with a shrink and it costs about U$90 which the airlines usually refunds.I also have a friend who,at 35,had his licence taken from him because his heart rate was too slow,happened some 20 years ago and he's still around as a senior squash champion!!

P.S. Still pro choice and still willing to call it a day when 60.....
