Couple that with the fact that due to things that happened to me in my 20s, I'm statistically unlikely to make it past 60 with a medical and 50/50 at best for 70 on this side of the grass, 67 basically means the Pwb (probably wide body) goes from .2-.3 to 0-.05 between still holding a medical or even wabtibg to deal with a qual course at that age.

Also my PhD dissertation required a lot of probability analysis.

Add on to that a major cardiac issue, requiring a very invasive SI, that is highly likely to recur around 60-65.
67 will move the chance for me to go WBA 1-2 years down the road which greatly diminishes the probability of it ever happening.
Has anyone ever cautioned you about oversharing on public websites? Sheesh, man. You really put a lot of personal info on this website that anyone, anywhere can see. Not only that, you've repeatedly doxxed yourself over and over.
All it takes is one "scared" frequent flyer to read your medical diatribes and drop a dime to Delta and the FAA and say they're scared for you to be their pilot. Watch all of these SIs you have go poof overnight in this world we're living in where social media hysteria rules.
And before anyone accuses me of making a threat, that's not what I'm doing here. I couldn't care less what you do, and despite my online arguing, I prefer to mind my own business. I've just seen people burned by this sort of thing before, and despite our debates, I do respect you for your tenacity, so I share this cautionary advice.
