Now there is talk about revisiting Age 65 after the age 63 United captain had a heart attack inflight.
Given the facts involved in Asiana, I guess we could conclude Asian males shouldn't be pilots, autothrottles cause landing accidents, women shouldn't drive fire trucks and all visual approaches should be made with an operating ILS. At least a flight plan was filed (one of the first things mentioned by the press in the US). Simple...and ridiculous.
Do we really need another mandated rule and procedure that would have contributed to the prevention of this tragedy? Lawyers need not respond.
