I sorta do. My employer requires a first class for FOs but only once a

It does. Their policy also gives them a good shot at having a promotable FO.
While there are always exceptions, it's most likely that if you passed the
medical once, you will be able to do it again in 6 months. That way they don't
end up with permanent FOs.
Not sure how much of a policy it is as opposed to an Ops Spec. It is
interesting that out of all of the Majors, only AMR has an up or out
rule.
