I agree, but there's no legal way to force them out without someone getting hit with an age discrimination lawsuit or a DFR lawsuit for the union. That's why NetJets tried to get legislation passed with an age limit. I believe the company can order a pilot to see a company selected Doctor to make sure they get a "real" physical, I don't know why they don't take more advantage of that. They could have the pilot come to RGS a day early for the physical.
