KC, you really are some boy with your businesses and 12 years of command. How did you get so smug? If you really believe that the mandatory retirement age is too old what are you doing on here moaning at people you know nothing about? Start lobbying ICAO or your national authority through your elected representative. Otherwise go back to your perfect little life and leave the debate to those that have some reason. How'd you like them apples big (read: small man) boy??
