pepi72,

Have you never heard of personal choice and individual differences?

In other words, why should I have to give up work at 60 because YOU want or have to? Or vice-versa?

Earlier this year a woman of 66 flew a helicopter round the world via both poles, gaining a world record. About three years ago her husband, at roughly the same age, walked to the South Pole. OLD?????

Let medical examinations decide fitness to fly, not the CAA, calendars and younger people's prejudices. It's the only logical way to do things.
