Agree totally with Pirate as I am in a similar position. This legislation would be excellent news if applied to aviation and we should lobby our representative bodies to ensure that it is.

Older pilots also have a wealth of experience and wisdom which they can pass on and are often good mentors to the less experienced.

As an aside, my father was still examining instructors on light aircraft when he was 80 plus!
