Cleared for Takeoff
What is the hold up? Is the FAA ever going to do away with the third class medical. And what might it look like when they are done.

Probably not in my lifetime

you do realize the gummint is closed today....due to inclimate weather in DC.I have it on good authority... It should be wrapped up by the end of the day. The plan like all government plans is simple. They plan to create a new 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th class medical. The medical you get is based on a semi-random drawing where your draw number is determined through a complex formula involving the number of ear hairs you have, your belly button lint weight in ounces, your shoe size and the color of the floor mats in your car in hexidecimal format all of this requires extensive documentation submitted to the FAA of course.
The 4th class is almost as stringent as the old 3rd class with one exception if you turn your head and cough you get 3 years instead of 2 for renewal. The 8th class is actually a special exemption for any individual who has ever been probed by aliens or chipped as the NSA has hacked the alien computer systems and we can get the information directly. The others are all somewhere in between.

And yesterday was a federal holiday.
