Quote: I just got a "fix it" e-mail today, but it has me scratching my head.

It states "the date entered for your FAA First Class Medical Certificate indicates that it is no longer valid. Please take appropriate action to correct this situation so that we may continue to review your application."

My medical was issued in 6/13. I was 39 when I received the medical, so it is good for 12 calendar months (until 6/14). Turned 40 last month. I can only think that the Delta system dinged me because it thinks since I'm 40 I needed a new medical every six months--which will not be the case until my next medical is issued in 6/14.

I e-mailed airline apps to see what they suggest for my "correction." But I thought I'd post on this board to see if anyone else has encountered this issue and has recommendations on how to resolve it.
Just to update. I just got back from getting my physical and updating my application. Two seconds after I pushed update, I got an e-mail from Plato at Airline Apps. He stated: "There is nothing in the Airline Apps system that indicates when your medical expires since we don't consider your age. The application simply shows that your medical was issued on a certain date. Delta has made a mistake in assuming your medical is expired and they should be contacted."

Too late for me, but I thought others might like to know. I'm fairly certain that just getting the medical early was still the most expeditious way to keep the ball going forward. Now I get to see if Delta is really interested . . .
