FAA Set to Raise Retirement Age

[ultrarunner]

The problem here flop is age-group protection from discrimination. And the US has recognized that flying in the US over age 65 is acceptable.

I don't want someone who is 64 or 65 driving a car with me in it let alone flying an aircraft. How many of you let your 65 year old parents drive when you are in the car. Thats what I thought.

Judging by your past postings, current attitude and total time, I wouldn't trust you to taxi a plane with my pet Labrador on board from the hanger to the gas pit. That's what I think.

Come on Mike, go easy on these young guys, they are in fact a small vocal minority and still full of themselves. Ah, to young again. The good newws is that they will all get older sooner or later and probably in the Generals case, will be flying on into the sunset when he turns 65!

Good to hear from you Bob, the only reason I would go back to Delta is to finish up my TOE and then call in sick for 3 years from Frankfurt. Take care.

You know, those over age 60 pilots from Europe also allow their under aged kids to drink beer over there, so maybe we should too? Right ultrarunner? It is allowed over there, so we should allow our kids to do it too....


Bye Bye--General Lee

You're missing it General. Yeah, thier kids can drink over there. Your kids, when they go over there can drink there too.

Their pilots over there can fly into your airport till 65. It's gonna change. Not if, but when.

Since we are talking about age discrimination and the government, think I can sign up to be a fighter pilot at 45 years of age? Isnt that age discrimination?

Give it your best shot.

"Hi I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help." YA RIGHT. I don't want someone who is 64 or 65 driving a car with me in it let alone flying an aircraft. How many of you let your 65 year old parents drive when you are in the car. Thats what I thought

Yeah, and the leading cause of death among teenagers is driving a car! So the younger they are, the safer???

they just need to put old people to sleep at not let them get in the way of young guys.

Fine. It's acceptable for retirees to go fly in another country.

If this changes, I think furloughs and other junior types should be able to take a dependant tax deduction on these age 60+ captains! Lord knows the old geezers are going to cost em more money than a kid...shoot, probably more than two kids!

Yo, moron. Wake up, 23 is the min age for an ATP. Nobody said the younger the safer.

Fine, raise the age to 65 with 60 max in the left seat.
