I take in fully what you are saying and equally know that while i am OK now who knows what lies ahead or how quickly in autumn years you can go down hill, but it still raises political points with the fact that the government keeps moving the pension gold post further ahead.
They use the excuse that people are living longer, that they are healthier, the new 60s are the old 50s etc.
it is hard on our industry to be shoved out at 60 while everyone else will be told to carry on until 70.
I am sure those of us who hold type ratings will be told on renewals if we are slowing up or not cutting it in the sim.
as for memory I could never remember names when I was 20 so no change there
One thing I am sure of is if you think OLD you will be OLD far before your time
