Maybe they will scrap the mandatory retirement age just so as to level out the playing field with all other things such as gender, colour, race, disability, obesity, anorexia, apparel, facial hair, religious persuasion, the list is endless. So that we may all say, all things being equal I too can be a captain, with or without time served. Bad thing this seniority list thing, must mean old, grey hair and wrinkles, walking sticks and things alike. I wonder what Sully would make of it all.
