Why do you say that it is my idea? Do you think that I came up with it all on my own? I've already stated that FIFA does it and has done so since well before I got involved with officiating.

For those like GarthB who need to resort to namecalling and wish to add me to their ignore lists simply because we have a difference of opinion on some issue seems awfully immature and small-minded. Afterall this is a discussion forum where people can express their opinions.
But go ahead use your ignore function, it won't hurt me any.
It's also fine with me if someone doesn't agree with the views I express, but I expect them to do it civilly. I strive to do that with others. One of the first things that I wrote on this topic was that my view wasn't going to be popular. I was well-aware of that before anyone even responded. That doesn't mean that the concept is without merit or worthy of discussion.

BTW doesn't the FAA have an age limit for commerical airlines pilots? Why aren't they evaluated solely upon performance and physical fitness? Shouldn't someone be upset that we don't have 70 year-old pilots out there?
