I agree with your sentiments and I think the age 60 is cr@p, where I fly it is 63 now and going to be 65 when the rules change, so the FAA can't stop us from flying into the US. But ALPA is running a big campaign to throw the old guys out of the cockpit so that they can get promotions. That goes against their previous policy that once you were fit and healthy you could fly to the recent one of "lets get our commands". The US policy does not affect me one bit because I'm flying overseas.
