Yes Don but..
H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Gulf war one. He was big, beefy and had a presence. He had the look of a leader. He was a leader, with a brilliant mind.
No-one ever offered Schwartzkopf a right-hand seat in an Aztec, Navajo or Citation etc... and for good reason.
Josh needs to look way beyond the issue of his Class 1 .. he needs to make himself suitable and attractive for every flying oportunity which may come his way... it's fiercely competitive out there.
On some aircraft, if you stick a 240 pound guy in the RHS you may have to leave a pax or some bags behind.. fact.
I still wish Josh the best of luck but at his age it's not going to be easy.
