Unfortunately, I would expect that once he turns 60, neither the Sichuan company doctors nor the regional CAAC doctors will sign off his medical.
This is just from I’ve seen so far here
Actually Sichuan Airlines has requested to employ foreign captains till age 63, and CAAC SOUTH WEST has granted it as for current CCAR 121 R5. There is at least one captain, previously employed by the same airline, who has signed a renewal till 63. What will happen with the doctors at the next medical renewal, time will tell.
