By the way, in case any of you may have missed it, I have said repeatedly over the three year duration of this thread that the Fed should have taken the age 65 extension as an opportunity to impose a mandatory age restriction on ALL compensated flying.
A Learjet that crashed Monday in Mexico killing a Mexican-American pop star and several others was being flown by a pilot who was SEVENTY-EIGHT years old. We don't yet know the cause or circumstance of the accident. But to me, that is WAY too freaking old to be flying a jet for hire. Period.
Resume countdown.
