Well, this thread has really taken a turn for the worse. I'm embarrassed by so many of the comments. I really hope other airline's pilots don't come on here just to get a good laugh at the silly CX pilots. Can't we all just be satisfied with our station in life and get on with it? You want the 30 knot crosswind? By all means, be my guest... I prefer day VMC with nil wind. Oh, and hot (female) cabin crews while we're at it.
Back on topic, I think anyone who thinks pilots should be allowed to fly a day past 65 is nuts. I don't care if you can pass a first class medical. We all know that requirement is a joke. The cockpit is "No Place for Old Men." 65 is OLD. My father turned 65 last year. He was a great pilot and is in excellent health for his age. Based on the way he now drives a car, I can tell you without hesitation that he absolutely should not be flying commercial airplanes.
But I'm sure all you older chaps on here are different, right?
