Honestly, even if you are still fit to fly at 70 - your chances of a sudden heart attack or a stroke rise exponentially with age, and I don't think we should accept the higher risk caused by that

Except that the number one cause of air carrier incapacitations is . . . . . .food poisoning and similar digestive problems. Doesn't seem to be age-related.
