Sorry Dennis, but I could not resist a posting on this one...
Last October I successfully completed my Commercial MultiEngine checkride in a Seminole, with only a THIRD CLASS medical.
The reason for doing the commercial license? I was told by insurance companies that I would receive more favorable rates in high-performance twins with a commercial (vs private) license. And it was a lot of fun.
The 2nd Class Medical is only required to exercise the privileges of the commercial license, not to obtain it. Having completed the license, I need only complete the 2nd Class Medical if I wish to participate in commercial operations.

As is pointed out every time I go to a CFI recertification course, you do
not need ANY medical to act as a CFI unless you are acting as pilot in
command. So if the student is legal to be the pilot in command, you can
teach and be paid even if you have lost your medical. If the student is not
qualified to be pilot in command, you need a third class medical. The FAA
recognizes that you are being paid to TEACH not FLY.

I have to stand corrected on saying that one needed to have a 2nd class medical in order to take a commercial flight test. I was talking about this to my fellow pilot out here flying the bombers. One a young lady from Sweden who is one of our B-24 pilots said "no" it was not required. The rest of the old timers said it was. I than called a designate examiner friend of mine. She said the only physical required for any flight test was a 3rd class physical. Even for an ATP. Of course the ratings are no good unless you pass the phycial for that rating.
You live and learn.

Me too Pappy. I guess that makes me an "old timer" too.

A commercial pilot applicant has to have a 2nd class medical to take the
checkride. A Commercial pilot must have a 2nd class while exercising
Commercial "priveleges", which would mean when doing something that the FAA
requires a Commercial license for- not when some other group of
self-appointed do-gooders requires you to have a commercial license.
