But careful what you wish for... if implemented, cog testing might be applied to 50 year olds as well as 65 year olds. Or even all 121 pilots. Cog testing may be like ishihara tests... somebody who flies just fine may not be able to pass test.

they also have a genetically homogeneous population demographic.
which makes general life expectancy comparisons overly simplistic.

And don't even bring BMI into the U.S. Half the airlines would shut down tomorrow. Very large overweight group sadly .
