Ageism!
When are we going to stop this nonsense re age?
If a pilot is able to pass his Class 1 medical there is NO logical reason for that pilot not to fly! Lots and lots of good experience is being lost every year to aviation by this stupid man made rule! And let's face it, sorry to say, but the quality of some of "modern mans" pilot skills, ability and basic training sometimes leaves alot to be desired!!! Flying by the "seat of the pants" just isn't fashionable anymore!
