Re: Stop The Law Project To Let Pilot Work Until 65 Years Old

Skol, would you care to back up your assertions with evidence?

I've been checked by some younger than I, some older. I've checked some older than I and some younger.

I'm not aware of any defference towards me for my age, nor have I given any based on age, young or old. I don't believe that any checkers at my current employer would pass Clarrie "coz he's a good bloke."

Whilst what you assert might happen from time to time, to suggest it's the norm to leave it to the poor young know-it-all F/O line drivers to weed out the oldies, seems to me to be a wild generalisation.

Mind you, I really hope I can reflect on my own perfomance objectively, and know when it's time to hang up my wings.
