Narrow minded? No, realistic.
You cannot legislate for the one-off 70 year old that can run rings around a 50 year old. You have to legislate for the 73 year old narcoleptic that derives his entire existence from being called "Captain" and falls asleep at the drop of a hat. Yes, I turned him in. No, the company wouldn't ground him despite a dozen corroborating statements.
As for aging well, I damn sure don't plan to be collecting Social Security from a cockpit like nearly THREE HUNDRED NetJets pilots. My wife has orders to ship my ID, license, medical, phone and ipad to Columbus the day I turn 65, if not sooner and that won't be long now.
You apologists for the geriatric set really crack me up. Age discriminators. Seat grabbers.
NO, you people are the ones with the problem. You just CAN'T. LET. GO.
