For the sake of discussion, I don’t support age 67, but I also don’t feel the need to make the mere mention something that has to be demonized.
It will clearly be brought into play if the age change comes to a vote. You seem to think facts need to be involved. They don’t! I doubt the NTSB will solve this one. Clearly the pilot was incapacitated about 15 minutes after departure. Probably a pressurization problem but perhaps a medical issue. If it was a systems issue did he miss something on preflight or after start or was it an aircraft systems failure? Again it really doesn’t matter as facts won’t matter if 67 comes to a vote. It will be hanging out there and if it sways a vote or two it’s huge.
