It is legal for a company to have a mandatory retirement age, especially for executives. They can also set age requirement for certain high risk occupations. See below.
'The Federal Aviation Administration is considering raising the mandatory retirement age for airline pilots from 60 to 65, the agency said yesterday. The agency said the change is prompted by the U.N. organization that governs aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organization.'
Note: the Catholic Church has a mandatory retirement age of 75 for Cardinals [I'm not sure about Bishops and Priests.]
However, if there are no company rules against it, then I say go for it.

I think he should go for it! My father-in-law is 67 & retired. Accept for a little yard work and going fishing once in a while, he really has no hobbies and sleeps most of the day. He does have a bad back though and can't do all the things he would like to. I say if your health is good and it's something you are interested in and want to do then by all means (DO IT)!

No reason whatsoever. Of course, if people started employing a lot of old people there could be more unemplyment among young people. But I don't think that will happen... Good luck with the job, it's always good to be busy!

You didn't say if you are in the USA or in Europe.
In Europe they mandatorily retire you at an fairly early age.
In the US, you can keep going as long as you can and want. So, fight for what you want.
My father was 84 when he died from cancer, but he was still working as an engineer with a very well known company!

Why discriminate against a Senior Citizen equipped with wealth of experience? Those who does it should bear in mind that they too will one day be as elderly as this man, but may not be as healthy and able.

Forget suing.
If you enjoy it... go for it and find a job that makes you happy! Part-time-- or even full-time-- employment or volunteering is a growing trend among retirees.

No. If he is denied solely on his age, he can sue. Age discrimination is against the law.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever.
