I don't believe the Dereck Lively neck sprain story. In the NFL, that's a #concussion.
He couldn't stand for minutes. You can see he can't balance & would fall walking without help.
@NBA, please don't undo years of concussion education meant protect kids
BREAKING: Ray Lewis III, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, diagnosed with stage 2 CTE https://t.co/Kkf7TCCnya
Ray Ray's parents launched @RL3Foundation to support CTE research & educate parents.
Ray's mom Tatyana McCall: “Little did I know when I put my son in tackle football at age 5, I ran the risk of having to bury him 22 years later. I would have done something different now knowing the risk."
I don't think establishing an arbitrary age is a good idea, as people age at different rates. A better approach is to require a cognitive test on Airman physicals after age 65. Some people are still fine mentally into their late 70s or beyond while others start experiencing dementia in their 60s.
@MarshaBlackburn Thank you, Senator for your deep understanding of this issue. Your support is greatly appreciated by the thousands of pilots who know that #experiencematters
In the wake of massive delays and pilot shortages, Congress should step up.
My Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act would raise the pilot retirement age from 65 to 67 and create a better experience in the skies.
Men & women of character; expertly trained; properly deployed; fully accountable: our cadre of pilots. No age range, just our identity. Join us - fight legalized age discrimination by calling your US Senators to support an end to forced retirement for pilots. #ExperienceMatters
We would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the importance of pilots who work tirelessly to fix what is not working well in the aviation system. Thank you, to all our many members working hard to prove that #ExperienceMatters more than ever! #WorldPilotsDay
Dear @118Congress
Want to do something good, morally right & smart on this #WorldPilotsDay ? Pass the FAA Reauthorization Act & allow the most experienced airline pilots the RIGHT TO WORK in their chosen profession until #Age67#MostTested#MostTrusted#ExperienceMatters#Safety
Stop the practice of punishing people for their proficiency and expertise by dismissing them from service because of an antiquated law mandating "retirement" - especially when you say that safety matters most. https://t.co/smYVRTmL5c
