Ask the Fed. Apparently they think there is a problem with flying past 65. My point is: either apply it to ALL commercial flying or eliminate the age limit. PICK ONE.

It's unlikely the Fed will drop an age limit so they need to apply it EVENLY across the industry. One level of safety, right? Anything else is hypocritical.

Which is EXACTLY why I don't support the union PAC. They pound the table about "one level of safety" when it comes to Part 117 and rest requirements but then ignore the age limit question. BE CONSISTENT.

To ignore that advanced age WILL eventually impact safety is to whistle past the graveyard. Sure there are super sharp 65 year olds but regulations and policies are always aimed at the lowest common denominator. The Fed picked a number. We should adhere to it as well or get rid of it completely.
