FAA First Class Medical

I would like to know how I get my US FAA first class medical to be valid for 12 months...

I have seen a few pilots medical from certain airlines stating in the limitations section "First class privileges valid for 12 months, not valid for any class thereafter"

It is a pain having to do my FAA every 6 and my JAA every 12.

Not an AME, but :

Pilot Medical Certification Questions and Answers says you can exercise privileges requiring a First Class Medical for 12months, so long as you are not yet 40 years of age. That's the way I always understood it.

My AME! Not even close to 40 yet! I will have to speak to him!
