It's not the heart attacks that are the problem, it's what's going on between their ears and the prognosis is not good.
I've flown with F/O's in their late 60's and they take a bit of spoon-feeding. Lack of concentration, falling asleep at extremely short notice, pushing the wrong buttons because their eyesight is failing and some are too tight to get some decent progressive glasses, get them at the 100 yen shop instead.
Report it? No thanks, don't need the drama.
To be honest I can't fathom how some pass their checks. A couple have been pushed out recently, an ignominious way to finish your career.
