Cheers, Alan
Thanks, I remember thinking how old and grey some of the Captains were, that I flew with when I was posted to the Strat. fleet -and in retrospect I doubt that any were even 50 !!

I think (?) I'd still enjoy 'handling the hardware' - the 14 hour nights would be a different matter tho !

Anyway, as I'm now suffering from EGBF - Electronic Gadget Brain Failure - not a chance, regardless of medical certification !

Cheers.

P.s. On the matter of the thread discussion, I was reluctant to stop at 65, but I would rate 70 as a maximum - only from personal experience of course, each to his own.

As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists*, to elicit certain reactions.

*"sciolist"... Noun, archaic. "a person who pretends to be knowledgeable and well informed".
