Petition update, 30 August 2007

More details from petition creator

It is discriminatory to force professional pilots of 'single pilot public transport operations' to have to retire at 60. Providing a professional pilot can pass a CAA/JAA Class 1 medical, that pilot should be able to continue to operate until the age of 65.
