it's not really a big deal. What about the airline captain who needs a
1st class certificate every 6 months, and gets deferred for the first
time for a similar benign condition? He's out at least 4 months because
our wonderful government can't appropriate money where it's needed, and
the sad thing is, that delay is only growing... pretty soon it'll be
possible to apply for a medical and receive a certificate in the mail
from the FAA which is invalid upon receipt!
