Everyone is happily talking about working until the average age of natural death! Are we still going to be a functional contributor to the industry on the 'front line' as we age.
I started in aviation (glider) when I was fourteen, at fifty five I am finding I suffer fools less easily and get tired a lot earlier.
Time to contribute in some other way methinks, at the moment us 'ageing' pilots need to look more towards regulation, management, mediation and training lest the bean counters take down what's left of the industry.
