There's already one precedent for an age-based difference in the FAA medical standards: the EKG. It's required annually, but only for those above a certain age.

That is age discrimination, isn't it?

Hey, maybe we should petition the FAA to raise that requirement by 5 years. Since, we're so much healthier, these days.

So did the USAF ground everyone over 50? Any word on any other ICAO countries raising medical standards since last November. Please show some evidence that FAA plans to change medical standards. You guys should be happy to get those 50 year olds out of your way.
