EGBK... Thanks for this. I can sleep a bit more soundly now ;-)

Interestingly, I just picked up an article on P.10 of the 28 March (or should that be 28 Mrz?) Issue of Flight International entitled "ICAO favours Older Pilots".

Apparently BALPA has called for "nonsense legislation" (retirement age <65) to be relaxed, arguing that the stringent medical and technical tests pilots are subjected to are enough to establish their competence and fitness to fly.

Well done BALPA. Logically the same should be said for the recruitment age as well as retirement.

Aerospace101 / High Wind, Thanks for pointing out the age of this survey.
