Funny how everyone who "doesn't care one way or the other" lays out a whole lot of 67 arguments.
Probably "Libertarian", too. 🤣

I second these testimonies. I too have witnessed and most likely flown with those same guys.
Maybe, we stop sharing gouges for recurrents and watch the failure rates skyrocket among those folk who are still 5 manual revisions behind, don't care, and make up their own procedures as they go.. because, "that's how we did it on the Super 80." Really makes trapping one's errors that much harder when nothing they do is standard.

They've unironically embraced becoming Lord Farquadt: "some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make".

If there are significant cognitive issues or performance degradation with older pilots, surely you have the data to back up your claims, correct? If this was true, there would be identifiable significant failure rates or significant training issues with older pilots conducting simulator training for 121/135/91K initial, recurrent, transition and line checks.
Where are all the FSAP, ASAP & NASA reports documenting these so called claims? How many pilots have walked off airplanes or refuse to fly with these so called older pilots with these age related issues?
Are there a small minority of pilots of ALL ages who slip through the cracks, yes. However, if what you all claim was true, there would be irrefutable data to back up your so called older pilots related performance issues.

All people become mentally sharper after 60.
Nobody has ever had to take the keys away from grandpa, because grandpa would immediately recognize his mental decline, swallow his pride, and accept it.
