So where do we draw the line then? If it's raised to 68, then what stops it from going to 70 or 72 or so on. We all know that just because someone can pass his medical that does NOT mean that ones reaction time or thought process has NOT deteriorated. We have arguments about cutting elderly people off from driving, driving! And we want to let people continue flying because they can get a medical? The line has to be drawn somewhere.
