I’ve heard about having Senior Citizen retaking a driving test to make sure their ability is sharp and that they don’t plow into people at the Farmer’s Market.
The death of the 60-year-old captain of a Continental Airlines jetliner as he flew 247 passengers across the Atlantic could spark a new debate over age limits in the cockpit.
Craig Lenell, the pilot who died Thursday, was believed to have suffered a heart attack. A cardiologist aboard the plane tried to revive him with a defibrillator.
Until 2007, U.S. rules required airline pilots to retire at 60, but Congress raised the limit to 65.
Should there be age limits on driving or Piloting? What say ye?
