Why all this fuss over the age of the pilot, surely the question is whether we need pilots at all?
Since the technology is already available to fly from A to B totally automatically (or even the planets for that matter), the age of the man watching the lights flash is really of no consequence, if he falls asleep or dies, the automation is going to do the job anyway.
The new job market is in computer minders,- you are all already 5 years behind the new trend, pilots are irrelevant.
