Im talking about the deeper thinking part of the subject, not the monkey rote “duh law sayz”
Well, like it or not, duh law sayz age 65.
On deeper thinking, nobody after age 65 is getting better. Across the board, people peak much earlier. Look at any competition like chess champions, sports, etc.
Cognitive decline is real. Experience has long since peaked when you are in your 60’s and nobody gets sharper. Grandpa never volunteers his keys. The failsafe of a predictable simulator or pencil whipped medical to catch pilots happens well after the time they became unsafe. Just like grandpa getting his keys taken away.
Age 65 makes sense as a failsafe to catch most before they become unsafe.
Take emotions (and money) out of your opinions.
Also, duh law sayz 65.
