IMO, the age 60 thing is as much a safety issue as anything else. I currently with a gent, who I like alot, but he is 63 now and I have seen his skills decline markedly over the past few years. It is pure and simple. I know ICAA has upped the age to 65, but with certain requirements, like crew complement, etc. One thing I know is that a class one physical in Europe is a two full blown a$$ pain, not the 30 min look and listen it is here. This should never pass for that reason. Whats next, well age 65 is discrimination, lets fight for 70. Please!! The age 60 rule is a good rule and its been effect long enough for all to plan for it. If you didn't, oh well, tough!! Don't take it out on the 95% of the rest of us.
