Chuck, I think being current has more to do with ones flying skills than age, the classic being the homebuilder who spends five years building and not flying and then bends his/her labour of love on the test flight program, we have seen three of these at our base in the last while. Yesterday we did a circling down to mins at our home base, at 72 years old I was quite at home, have seen others at eighty do just the same. On the other hand I flew with some who were burned out at 55, much as I think that those wishing stay in a large company over 60 need to get a life, the competency arguments are simply not valid.
