It is as far as the FAA is concerned. Anything else and it’s discrimination. Checkride failures, increase medical costs, etc etc are NetJets problems. The FAA has no legal ground to determine who they can hire or fire past the standard limitations to be a pilot as set in the FARs. And those limitations and standards have to be applied to ALL pilots from the first solo at 16 to the 75 year old NetJets pilot... equally and fairly.
I’m sure NetJets would love to see the government change the law so the onus is off them... but the Supreme Court could see it very differently.
