"Sorry, I'm not fit for duty" is all you need to say if you get called. Sure, the extra money is nice but wears thin and gets tiring pretty quickly.

Surely a medical is a requirement of the licence not an authorisation. I can hold a type N medical without holding any licence and it authorises me to do precisely nothing.

Any reason you're sticking with 32-bit? You're going to have to make the leap to 64-bit in April assuming you're using LM 19.3. Unless your hardware is monumentally ancient it will run 64-bit.
