Reply To: If you can go to war at 18, you should be able to drink at 18

I believe Joseph’s deductive reasoning is more logical

I think the correlation between blowing your nose and piloting a commercial aircraft is as strong as the one between going to war and drinking (i.e. there is none; they’re both separate things and should be judged on their own).

but, point of fact
actually there are no restrictions on a 3 year old piloting a plane

This is not true. To pilot a commercial aircraft in the U.S., you have to be 23 (besides training and experience requirements).
