>>Its a good rule in my opinion. Some guys are already slow at 25, now imagine that same chap at 60!!!! Shudder at the thought.<<

Sorry, have to disagree there. I'm a TRE and in the sim I see the 59 year olds and the 22 year olds all the time. One thing that surfaces time and time again is low experience vs high experience in an unplanned situation. The high experienced pilots win hands down every time

Of course, you do get lemons in all age groups, but generally, if you give me a choice of flying as pax with a 59 year old or a 22 year old when **** starts happening, I would choose the 59 year old any day

I'm 37 by the way.
