Pretty sure Kirby isn’t lobbying that we need to lower the age because the world needs more GA Cirrus or part 91 Citation pilots.
How we got off of the issue of Class 1 medicals and GA flying is beyond me.
Besides, if you wanna change the medical requirements for flying 121 beyond 65, that’s not any different than lowering the flight time requirement….. except for how much a 66 yr old will cost an airline vs a 22 50 hr pilot will cost an airline
