Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV) advocates raising commercial pilot age limits at a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing.
Rep. Gibbons states that older pilots are generally healthier than their younger counterparts and feels there is no indication that older pilots are less competent than their younger counterparts. He has introduced legislation in the House to change the age restriction. (:29)
