Maybe while this unfair age discrimination at the 'upper end' is maintained we should push for it to go to the other end of things and have the minimum age for holding a professional licence raised to 40? That would create the shortage that would mean that the older, more experienced and wiser pilots could be retained in jobs for longer...
