Nacho and others,
Safety has never been part of age limits. It was politics in the beginning (Crandal at AA and his buddy at the CAA) and it still is. If safety is your goal, tighten up the 1st class medical. There are some younger guys out there I would not want my family flying with.

The medical are tightening... and so are many other things.

In terms of averages: younger pilots you wouldn't want your family flying with? A few. Elderly pilots you wouldn't want your family flying with? Essentially all of them. Think big picture here old timer. It's no longer safe for you to be here. Get out.

I flew the Phenom with a 75+ pilot and while his stick and rudder skills were top notch, everything else about his skill set was scary bad.
Threat and Error management is the key to safety, with "flying skills" being the last line of defense.
Absolute garbage when it came to SA, FOM calls/standardization, ability to work the box, hear radio transmissions, communicate intelligibly, alertness. He could barely get in and out of the aircraft.
We all know who I'm talking about here. Nice guy, hell of a career, but he should be sitting at a small FBO telling stories about banging Vietnamese hookers when in port and not out on the line.

I should have called pro standards. I should have called an ACP.
I should have posted the many many photos of Captainsaurus sleeping in FBOs and in the cockpit. I should probably just put a pillow over their face and end it all.
How many crews make the phone call when they see their partner drinking <12 hours before the next day show? None? <1%?
No one makes those calls because we don't want to deal with the blowback. It's all anonymous until it isn't.
