Judging , judging .. Flying with a dog is not problem if it is secured in the back seat with a short leach or better in the luggage compartment .Putting it on the front seat is asking for trouble, common sense.
Prohibiting flying above a certain age ? Glad you are not a politician reacting to a single event ! For info a few years ago there were more pilots above 80 in the USA that all the pilots registered in EASA land.
There are people of 30 who are far more dangerous in the air than some good old 80+ pilots
