LTD often requires regular follow up exams with a Co. approved doc.
That might not be the case for some conditions, such as ones which requires an FAA-mandated waiting period and you're running out the clock (ex TBI, LOC).
In general I wouldn't join an airline with the intent of taking LTD and traveling the world, unless you research the requirements. "Subjective" conditions will usually require regular follow-ups, for obvious reasons.
