I'd like to see stats on that. And "healthy" is thrown around pretty loosely and "runner" could mean he jogged .5 mile twice a week. My wife is a dietician and while I never lecture people on how they should eat I'm always surprised when people tell me what they eat and how it's healthy.
That's being said in regards to the post title. Apparently my company had a line pilot who's 68 pulled off a trip (dudes as sharp as they get too) because of some new safety rating in addition to ARGUS/WYVERN that doesn't allow for pilots over age 65. Anyone else heard of this happening or know of such safety standard?
