Be honest. Were any of us here capable of adequate risk analysis and decision-making at age 19 or 20? Would we want our current families to fly in the back with our 19-20 year-old selves in the cockpit?
That's exactly the point. Age discrimination is a good thing for our industry- from atc, to pilots, to FAs even. There are lots of lives at stake and its good and right to have industry-wide policy limits on our ages (top & bottom). Making moves that increase present risk is irresponsible. Look at the close calls we're having out there! Now's not the time (if there ever was)
