She passed her cog test with flying colors. She could be in a cockpit tomorrow if it wasn’t for this silly age restriction.
I have a neighbor, 80s, former United DC-10 Captain who does pro bono accounting work for several local small businesses and completed his 43rd consecutive NYT Sunday crossword puzzle this week. In pen. No one has concerns about his cognitive ability.
Sorry about your Meemaw, but she is not a definitive representative of her age group.
