anyone else see the irony in the timing of that Lear that crashed in Mexico being captained by a 78 year old?

Yes, we noticed. And it's why I believe there should be a limit for ALL compensated flying or no limit at all (you can guess which I would prefer).

Why is it unsafe for a guy to fly a 737 for an airline the day after he turns 65 but it's perfectly safe for him to walk across the street the next day and fly a BBJ around the planet until he can't hold a medical, finally quits, or croaks?

Either it is safe at any age or it's unsafe beyond 65. Pick one....

Do we have to pick one of those two options? I'd prefer to pick option #3: that it's unsafe beyond age 60.

OF course as long as "THE CANDY MAN, THE EASTER BUNNY and SANTA CLAUS are giving the medicals, they will continue to fly...WE ALL KNOW plenty of guys that shouldn't have a medical.

Point taken. But that horse is out of the barn, across the highway, and running and calling "Wild Fire" (sorry, classic music reference there).

We can't fix the number but we CAN fix the scope of the regulation.
