It's a whole load of B.S. that age 65 came about due to any thing other than greed. It's amazing that this law just "popped" up over a weekend. It's the greed of the companies and the greed of those old fart captains sitting in my seat. I think this just goes to show that age 65 was too much -- law should be repealed and age 60 should return as the norm.
Blackbird, Personally I think you have learnt more from that "old fart captain" than you give credit for and I personally and maybe others too see your post as nothing other than a hope that someone may see fit to give you the opportunity to prove that you are a Hotdogger.
I hope you are still an Aviator at 60+
