You are saying FO’s also have to get NEW medical every six months? If that is the case, then United must be the only airline that requires PIC standards for SIC’s (all airlines require full First Class for relief pilot operations). Yes, most if not all Legacies require First Class, but all allow lapse to 12 months.

The 1st class privileges are required because all fleets fly internationally.

That is not a legal requirement. I know for a fact American and UPS, who fly international, can absolutely let their First class lapse for FO’s. So FO’s over 40 flying international (Caribbean, South America, Bermuda, etc) non augmented flights can absolutely lapse.

While the Class I/II medical verbiage for 121 ops is in an FAR, United policy is all pilots will be on a Class I.

Pass travel has effectively been rendered useless. Very few times, when you have to get there, you can count on being able to use a pass. Full planes mostly, or one cancellation out of ORD or EWR, and you are done for the day.
Bottom line is, if you have to get there, buy a ticket, and many times, at least for me, it's not on UAL.
