As I've said before I'm nearly 60 myself, but you wont find many here who want to talk about how to weed out errant elderly pilots. It's all about 'what's in it for me'. A significant percentage of our brethren are notoriously greedy. As someone previously said you don't get any speedier as you get older. All I've tried to bring to the debate is how you address the old pilot syndrome. In some countries pilots can fly on Air Transport Ops to any age(even single pilot). In Japan they prohibit over 60's flying together on Air transport Ops
Experience is fine and I've done 40 years flying but sooner or later we're all going to end up on the back end of the drag curve.
