I agree with you. But the gummers say an age limit is "arbitrary."

So what age ceases to be arbitrary? 70? 80? 103?

Their rationale is that there hasn't ever been an age limit for 91K/135 and (they claim) there is no verifiable safety risk from Geritol swilling pilots. Therefore no new regulation is needed
