if your flights are as you say, you have to report the captain for being inept, or for poor hearing.

and it is not a matter of age. I flew with an FAA examiner (designee) who was 70 and he was one of the best, sharpest pilots I've ever seen.

you may just have crummy pilots at your line, so why don't you report them?????

(I had someone who was four months from retirement (60) and his briefing was: if it seems like I don't care, its because I DON"T CARE...he managed to sit on his microphone, keying it and blocking radio for awhile...I finally figured it out and had to do some fancy flying to make up for his mistake. So, I reported him to the chief pilot, the CP called him in and let him retire ON THE SPOT)

there are old pilots, there are crummy pilots...you are confusing the issue. you have been flying with crummy pilots...just cuz they are old doesn't always make them crummy.
