I really don't want a controller that is vectoring me for an approach into EWR suddenly having a heart attack while me and a CAL 777 are heading right for each other. The same goes for pilots. As somebody once said on here before, there are a lot of parts on airplanes that are time limited. Meaning we don't run those parts till failure. The same holds true for pilots.
This is the biggest load of bullsh34 i`ve read so far on this issue, awhile ago there was "a rule" (your words) that people of different colour had to walk on the other side of the street, so as far as your concerned a rule is a rule and therefore must be for everbodys good !!!!! wow and they actually let you into the cockpit
