I’ll bite. Except for the ECG requirement if you are old enough, what IS the difference in standards between a 1st and a 2nd class, unless you are on a special issuance or SODA that limits you to second class?
And if THAT is the case, you damn sure want to find out that you CAN get a 1st class before you invest a lot more time and effort into an aviation career.
