Why? Oh never mind. Let me help you out.

Some guy, who is old and wants to continue the great ride a couple more years and cares more about himself and his family than his first officers, or some not yet hired pilot, is gonna “look in the mirror”, and say...”hey I look a,little hypocritical”, so I’ll just change. Even though he knows he’s been a hypocrite for a long time. In fact the last time the age rule change was debated, and he opposed it because he was an fo or junior NB Captain at the time. And he knows the junior pilots will take the the same position as him when they get close to mandatory retirement age?

That about it?

Tilt at windmills much?
