70? WOW!, Some folks at my workplace are already looking like pitted prunes, and they're just over 60, hell there's even a guy who looks really dated and he just turned 50, I think the no age limit is a big No-No, especially if the decision to hang the old cleats is left to the pilot him/herself, there will always be pilots arranging checkrides, groundschools, medical exams, you name it, remember what happened in india and china a few months back regarding some pilots's licences and logbooks? If they did that just to get the jobs at entry level, imagine what the old farts will do to keep flying and taking home the big paychecks?, I have flown with guys who have been ready to pack it in for a while back but they haven't just because of the paycheck, this stopped being a flying matter a long time ago.
