The flying skills of a pilot are only age related based on the individuals all around health MidgetBoy.

When I retired at age seventy I still held and was flying in airshows in Europe and held an unrestricted airdisplay authority under JAR, which incidentally is far more demanding than the Canadian equivalent.

My Icon as a pilot was Bob Hoover who was still flying air show displays well into his eighties, I retired not because of my inability to fly safely but because I wanted to see how the rest of society lived before it was to late.

So you can argue your position as much as you want it still does not negate the fact your opinion does not reflect the facts of the matter....which is age is not a determining factor in a pilots ability to fly.

Unless of course you are an Air Canada employee with the mindset that the law does not apply to you.
