I'm sure I could rise to the challenge but I am not sure that over the age of sixty five, I'd like to face a roster which consisted of five weeks of earlies with each day being a six sector day through February and January in northern Europe again. What I do know for sure though is that I'd like a jolly good bloke as a first officer with me if I were ever faced with such a timetable. If I were intending to be slightly rude I suppose I could say that having read through quite a lot of the previous pages I'm not at all sure that there isn't a good argument to extend the flying age to seventy just to keep some of today's first officers out of the left hand seat. As for seventy year old flight attendants, it's a good idea, far less of an opportunity for cavorting cheaters down route.
