The Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a pilot group's challenge to a U.S. government rule forcing them to retire at age 60. A group of 12 pilots calls the regulation discriminatory and says their competency and health should be considered when deciding their ability to fly. Southwest Airlines, in a friend-of-the-court filing, said older pilots are "as safe as, and in some cases safer than, their younger colleagues."

The Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a pilot group’s challenge to a U.S. government rule forcing them to retire at age 60.
Justices let stand a lower ruling in favor of the Federal Aviation Administration, which says the retirement rule for commercial pilots is necessary for safety. Officials have argued that pilots lose critical cognitive and motor skills as they age.
