Airline pilots have an upper age limit.
Apparently, it's not safe to have anyone above a certain age fly a plane, even with a copilot, traffic control services, and multiple system redundancies.

Sully Sullenberger landed the plane on the Hudson river when he was 58, 7 years from upper age limit. By that time he had flown all kinds of planes in all kinds of condition. With politicians, I view experience as net negative, like how long the fish has been rotting.
