Few jobs have <i>mandatory</i> retirement at age 65. Commercial pilots must pass physical exams on a regular basis. If a 70-year-old can pass the exam and still wants to pilot, why shouldn't he be able to? For most jobs, the voluntary retirement age (at which one can collect his pension) is 65.

I might add that the law was overturned by those who probably would have initally supported the rule, but are now in a position to benefit from a later retirement date.

After the incident the FAA and NTSB praised the pilot's experience as the major factor in the aircraft landing safely. About 6 months later that same pilot was forced to retire due to this regulation. I wonder how old the pilot who just landed in the Hudson River is?
