I don't feel it's safe for the FAA to extend pilot currency to six months (or 180 days) instead of the normal three months (90 days); whether or not there is a pandemic. No studies were conducted to support this policy change; and no comment period was allowed. I have flown with individuals who were off work for 30 days and it can be scary. I think whatever the FAA policy; our airline would be wise to adhere to our historic practices of three takeoffs and landings within 90 days; or you go do them in a simulator.
Air carrier pilot expressed concern about the safety aspect of the FAA's extension of the landing currency requirement from 90 to 180 days.
