The never ending moving of the goal post won’t help attract new pilots. The new generation doesn’t want to work until they die, they want to put in their time and retire before they’re too old to enjoy themselves. Moving the goal post to slow current attrition also slows seniority progression and makes this job even less appealing. Also, if they do keep moving it then LTD premiums are going to get expensive too. More people will either need it for serious medical issues, or just use it when they’ve had enough and quit trying to maintain a medical. For those who don’t need a medical outside of this job, I wouldn’t think disqualifying would be that hard to do.
