Of course, I'm not sure at what number a limit ceases to be arbitrary. 70? 75? 103?
Mandatory age limits were created out of the economic desires of airline executives a long time ago. But they are NECESSARY to police those among us without the intellectual honesty to admit that they NEED TO GO. The fact that two NJ pilots turn EIGHTY this year is proof positive.
Yeah, I don’t care what their buddy physician says. There is no mental test on the physical and FSI will pass anyone with a pulse. “CLEAR!”
