Seems the simple solution is to require males to retire at 40 (you want a safety margin).
Suuure. And, exactly what FAA study are you referring to?

Last week, Capt. Brian McManus, a Delta 767ER pilot, landed at JFK, drove home to Conn. The next morning he was found dead. HE WAS 49 YEARS OLD. He missed passing away in flight by about 12 hours. Perhaps the mandatory age should be 49 ! By the way, Capt McManus was a staunch advocate of keeping the age at 60, since as he once told me, "60 is when you really start to become a health risk"

So, let me see if I've got this straight...You guys are now trying to prove to everyone, that pilot's are more likely to die prior to reaching age 60?
Is THAT your argument? That you don't think that someone is more likely to die after age 60, than before?
