There are several hundred retired 121 airline pilots at Netjets alone that would tell you THIS statement is an abject falsehood.
And every single one of them passed an interview to be there. They had to demonstrate sufficient discipline, professionalism, and enthusiasm to be there. You can not say the same of the ones the airline is forced to keep because of 65. It's the opposite. 90% of them you wouldn't hire to fly trafic watch.
