I'm not actively racing at that level, haven't been competitive since I got splatted in a helicopter in 03, I was part of opening ceremonies at Tampa, and was brought out for a "parade lap" with a bunch of military vets who used to race at Washougal.
My one claim to fame since getting rebuilt like a Teemu Darth Vader was beating Chad Reed in one moto, in the 40+ Pro/Expert class, on a technicality when his wife protested him and he got docked 2 laps.
He then lapped me in the second moto, 4 laps in (this was at Lake Sugar Tree in Virginia)

I would disagree on Delta and fitness. They promote it to the extent they have employee gyms in many locations and offer cash for fitness goals. The pilot lounge in NYC has a gym and showers.

Considering my summons was more than a month after my last sick use, which was for a double ear infection (not bike related) it was straight up harassment.
The only time I have been out sick for anything motocross related was September through November 2022, and that was that long because Delta via thier UHC lackeys took over a month to approve surgery after making me drive 1600 miles home pulling a camper with a snapped collarbone, and the month of improper healing turned a 45 minute outpatient surgery into a 6 hour rebreak and reconstruction, and put me from "back at work in 2-3 weeks" to out three months.
But yes. Let's harrass the guy who was good enough at a sport to still get invited to pro races 20 years past his pro days, and can still occasionally run with former world champions.

And while your at it, trucking companies too? OTR guys are behind the wheel 12 hours a day. Still never seen a gym at a truck stop. I'm thinking box truck delivery drivers UPS, FedEx.
Oh, and why BTW do you care? Isn't this an individual issue?

The venn diagram overlap from motocross and dirtbikes to flying is pretty big.

UAL guys are definitely in the running for most in shape. Well, minus the IAH guys, and obviously our (actual) wide body pilots because they look like death is already knocking, and also the commuting lifestyle isn’t all that good for you either so that kinda takes out SFO, EWR, and LAS guys… on second thought maybe we can take the figurative cake for most figurative wide bodies.
