I side with those who AREN'T freaking out about the age 60 rule.
1) While there are things about flying that does stress one out, for the most part, someone is paying me to FLY AN AIRPLANE. If I personally ever get sick of it, I know McDonald's is always hiring.
2) Orville and Wilbur should have indicated that operators of their miraculous invention would lose all commercial privileges at age 65...then we would have never had this whole problem to begin with.
3) It's got to go to 65. We should have never forced people to retire to begin with --- I've got to believe that any folks that are complaining currently WOULD/WILL feel differently if they were at 59.5 and didn't want to stop doing what they love.
Mon deux centimes.
