I would say that it depends. If it is a 12 month expiration then absolutely get it done before hand. If it is a 6 month expiration because they are over 40 then I would wait as narrow body FO's only need a class 1 once a year regardless of age. I had my 6 month renewal scheduled for the week after Indoc and was able to cancel it as a result.
