Just like you using your young friends death to further your agenda. Karma Indeed!!![/QUOTE]
I have no agenda other than agreeing that the age 60 rule is unfair. Furthermore, I am not, nor have not, used anyone's passing to do so. I am using that as an example of how wrong it would be to use the Continental pilot's passing. I'm sure his family would agree with me and would be appalled to read about their loved one being used to further someone's agenda. As Velocipede mentioned, he knows of younger pilots having to go out on leave for cancer treatment. Using that sort of logic, perhaps we should ban all pilots of all ages with any sort of family medical history that might cause an unexpected medical emergency.
My karma is just fine, thank you.
