Good point, mandatory retirement age should be 55.

So all you Age 65, "Get out of my seat!" cry babies can stick that in your pipe and smoke it. All you boys who want stricter medical standards should also be careful what you wish for.

YOU could be the poor schlub with a medical denial as easily as an old guy.
Man. You need a vacation

55 should be what everybody shoots for, instead they buy up giant houses and a ton of crap that they have to pay for until their 70. That way they fly until they die or die shortly after retirement, never even being able to enjoy life. Sad. Life is too short to chase the dollar bill to the grave.

I'm guessing that you are a very popular guy to fly with.

Just heading off the anti-Age 65 whiners. To date, EVERY pilot who has died in the cockpit has been less than age 60.

And as far as your "guess"...that old saw is the first thing people toss out when they realize they can't win the debate. I imagine you believe that one must adhere to APC "groupthink" to be fun to fly with. An erroneous assumption on a multiple of levels.
