We all know that medical examinations are 99% about the body, and next to nothing about what is going on between the ears.
It's all taken care of in the sim? Not so, all it takes is a buddy examiner and you will pass.
15 years ago I flew with a captain who used personal checklists in order to remember the ordinary checklist. He was eventually removed from flight duty because of a number of reports from his Effohs.
Do that today, and you get hauled into the office for age discrimination/bullying by your local 411A.
This captain had been protected by his buddies for years.
Aging is real. Pretending it's not doesn't change this FACT!
