As long as an individual can physically perform the job duties I have no problem with age. If the individual can not perform such things as exit operation then they need to retire.
It was my experience that the folks who had a few years on me were some of the nicest people out there. Personable, caring, kind, everything that a company could want.
Age alone doesn't mean a person can't do the job. I've seen 80 year olds who are perfectly capable of opening a 727 door. Certainly not all 80 year olds qualify physically for the job, but I think if they still can do the job, let 'em.

Flight attendant retires after 50 years
By MARK NIESSE, Associated Press Writer

HONOLULU - When Patti Smart was hired as an Aloha Airlines stewardess 50 years ago, it was a different job for a different time.
She rubbed elbows with Frank Sinatra, performed in-flight fashion shows and danced in smoke-filled aisles aboard cramped DC-3s seating two dozen passengers.
Smart, nicknamed the "Queen of Aloha," retires Friday after more than a half-century on the job she started when she was 18 years old.
Smart has the third most years in the sky among the 55,000 flight attendants represented by the Association of Flight Attendants. The most senior flight attendant in the nation started her job in 1950.
Smart was paid $170 per month for 85 hours of work after she was hired on Jan. 28, 1957.

The evacuation Alarm is when she yell at the top of her old a$$ lungs get the @#ck off this burning airplane.
An evacuation alarm is an audible alarm (sounds like a car alarm) that is activated at a F/A station by pushing a button. The alarm is heard throughout the entire plane.
It is another way (in addition to a spoken PA command) to initiate an evacuation.
