Somebody created a new username in the wee hours of this morning, simply to copypasta a bunch of nonsense that they clearly had not themselves reviewed?

In Feb 2019 the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research did a study for EASA and concluded:

4.2.3 Age limit multi-pilot operations
Based on the outcome of Parts 1 and 2, it was concluded that allowing pilots older than 65 years in multi-pilot CAT operations would require additional risk-mitigation measures such as specific tests to support the aeromedical decision on the applicant’s fitness on an individual basis. We recommend keeping the age limit at 65 years as it is currently set by EASA (FCL.065; EASA, 2016).


The May 2019th EASA Powerpoint linked above even says, on slide 23, that the study recommends maintaining the age limit for multi-pilot operations as 65 years.

Later in the same powerpoint on slide 30 it says EASA is considering an increase in the limit beyond 65 years for multi-pilot commercial air transport operations as well as an 80% cap on FTL for pilots over 65 in multi-pilot ops, but there's an entire side after that stating "However, a final decision has not been made yet".
