Regardless of whether they're greedy, or just made poor investments, doesn't the Netjets pilot union have a committee that looks into medical/physical (not just age related) issues of pilots' fitness for duty? Or is this a company committee?

Uh....I don't think you understand the issue. I believe NJASAP does have a committee that does exactly that. The flight surgeon evalutates pilots on the day of the medical exam, the union (company?) committee deals with longer trends.

Yep. Flown with plenty in 60's and few 70's. Spent a lot of time checking, double checking, fixing mistates...etc.
But I am NOT throwing stones because I will be there one day and am going to need a sharp young buck to fly with who will do the same for me.
(Yes some are still sharp but it is a perishable skill)

73, he was a retired Delta guy, sharp as a tack, and I was shocked when I found out how old he was, he flew F-4's in the Nam, great stick, and good guy to have a beer with too, he has great genes, and will leave when it's his time I reckon, that's his choice,his business, it's really no one else's.
