Sounds good. But we're still done at Age 65.

Although you said aircrew. While that could help oust some older FAs, it could also backfire with the new ones it brings in!

No kidding !!!!! These old bag flight attendants need to take a hike. Man it is so bad it drives a man to drink on a daily basis. I don't even want to start in on some of the Grande FA's.....

Google search says IFALPA is AGAINST increasing age.

IATA and some group called AsMA in favor.

If so, I can confidently state that I have amazing declining motor skills.

Who has to set the thrust well on an arrival? My aircraft sets it just fine while I watch. Motor skills?
