Why do you think that? More likely is that MEC decided to let him go noncurrent and he's getting paid FPL. So if he returned to line, he would, just like any other pilot, get current, ck ride, etc. Do you know of some medical problem? Unlike the block 2 rep TC, who hasn't touched a jet in 24 months and appears to be unlikely to touch one ever again (is he even allowed to vote in this situation?)
