over reaction
ok I'm new to pprune, but this topic is relevant to my situation. after a career change I've just started my flying career at age 40. I think what some people aren't realising is that it makes no difference if they age is raised. if the age goes up by 5 years it may take you 5 more years to get a command, but then you will also have that extra 5 years IN command.
if they change the medical to examine age related issues and you can pass then you should be able to keep going to 70.
anyways, that's my 2 cents worth on this topic
