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 I think this just goes to show that age 65 was too much -- law should be repealed and age 60 should return as the norm.
It's not the age of the body but its condition that's important.

Note the age of the doctor

A Belgian cardiologist, Dr. Julien Struyven, 72, checked the pilot’s vital signs and declared him dead.
