You know the cognitive decline study this echo chamber treats like the bible, right?
It measured cognitive decline. It’s real and measurable and starts at 24 and then keeps going.
By 70, the actual reaction-time difference is equivalent to one-third of a blink of an eye.

the decline of pilot skills with age isn’t about raw reaction time. go instruct on a widebody and try to drag a median 63yo widebody captain through training on a new plane with all of their experience.

70 year olds are know for reaction speed. That’s why so many dominate boxing and auto racing.
Never get in a gun fight in a retirement home. The place is filled with gun slingers.
That’s also why most chess tournaments are dominated by 70 year olds.
Quick reactions, quicker thought, and all that experience.

No you are running from it.
Have a great weekend.
Time to surf!

Judges don't have to make split second decisions. Like great poster once said "like bringing a tricycle to the Indy 500".

you’re misinterpreting that study, but that’s okay because you’re wrong in a much more important way:
the decline of pilot skills with age isn’t about raw reaction time. go instruct on a widebody and try to drag a median 63yo widebody captain through training on a new plane with all of their experience.

One refused to accept a direct to IAF of an RNAV (RNP) and screamed we are not allowed to do that.
Ah it's the initial approach fix and is not a fix inside the FAP and it is not .... forget it.
I have control. That was on our loft.
That is what is behind all of us.
Have a great weekend.

You should have been in my last 6 recurrent. Total potted plants. I was single pilot all three days.

Boeing Aviator has been pretty quiet. I’ve been waiting for him to show up to let us know that the joke is on us and this was all part of the plan. LEPF/EPAS now has ICAO right where they want them and the LEPF insider double agents are about to finish the job from the inside. It’s going to happen any day now. His senator neighbor tells him so. Just keep the faith and keep donating.

You are unshakeable. I’ll give you that.
Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations.
I respect your resolve. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
Enjoy your weekend!

I already answered this on the old thread.
I thought it was tragic you brought you an Age 55 community into an employment discussion.
But I will do it again.
Minimum ages are exempt from ADEA, thus permitted.
You good now?
ATC has no age limit under ICAO.
Is that the model you want?
In the US however length of service is tied to the entire FERS. Changing it would touch at least 5 million FERS calculations in perputity. Not saying it's right, it just not my lane.

You just don’t know when to wave the white flag. You refuse to admit age discrimination is legal, you refuse to admit age 67 isn’t going to happen, and you refuse to admit that you got swindled by EPAS and LEPF. Any shred of credibility you had is long gone.

Again, for the people in the back.
the quantity of flying jobs (6 figure already available) for 65plus will soothe the pain.
