Terrible news

Does CO pilots have to maintain a certain level of fitness level to keep their jobs? I almost started a thread on this a few weeks back when I saw 2 CO pilots at EWR diving into their McDonalds. They were both borderline obese and definitely would be considered POS.

These two are clearly the exception and not the rule but it does make me wonder having lost a relative to heart failure as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle.
