Hey TC maybe this is a good time to extend pilot's medical validity

I would phone your Doc tell them you would like and appointment. Go to work if you can. Get a medical once the Doc phones you and will book an appointment.

So how can one look at this as a seasonal float pilot who is over 40? Who generally does a medical in April in order for it to be valid for the six month season?

The extension is in place to extend the validity period of currently held medicals. If you do not hold a medical of the appropriate category for commercial operations, you're SOL for the time being.

CAMEs have been directed by TC to stop taking appointments until (at least) May 1st. I'd suggest the stop work order will be in place longer than that, and we may very well end up seeing an additional extension granted by TC.

Having said that, do you actually think you'll be doing much in the way of flying this season?

Won't be any if he can't get a medical. We've lost at least one pilot to that scenario.
