Again, I'm not saying that age 60 isn't age discrimination, I'm just saying that it occures everywhere. A pilot doesn't suddenly become unsafe at 60 just like a person doesn't suddenly become capable of leading a country at 35(I think that's the age you have to be to run for president, you get my point). These are all just agreed upon limits to help assure a certain standard.
