Time to retire OLD TIMERS!

"Hi I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help." YA RIGHT. I don't want someone who is 64 or 65 driving a car with me in it let alone flying an aircraft. How many of you let your 65 year old parents drive when you are in the car. Thats what I thought

Yeah, and the leading cause of death among teenagers is driving a car! So the younger they are, the safer???

they just need to put old people to sleep at not let them get in the way of young guys.

The problem here flop is age-group protection from discrimination. And the US has recognized that flying in the US over age 65 is acceptable.

Fine. It's acceptable for retirees to go fly in another country.

If this changes, I think furloughs and other junior types should be able to take a dependant tax deduction on these age 60+ captains! Lord knows the old geezers are going to cost em more money than a kid...shoot, probably more than two kids!

Yo, moron. Wake up, 23 is the min age for an ATP. Nobody said the younger the safer.

Fine, raise the age to 65 with 60 max in the left seat.
