For those of you that already turned 60

Since it's not about the money, but just the opportunity to work, I thought I'd extend an olive branch and help you get back into the cockpit.

You revived career awaits!!

The only small bit of satisfaction that I get out of this new law is that many of the pilots who pushed the hardest to get this rule changed turned 60 before it did!!!!

And, sadly, one of those on the APAAD advisory board actually blew his brains out.

And While that is sad and unfortunate it does show he should not have been flying. Age issue aside if his life was worth so little to him that outside of the left seat then he had much bigger issues......Sad none the less.

Yes...and you now know what the rules are. Any law can be changed....and though organization, hard work and dedication...it got changed.

I hope you noticed that whining and complaining on web boards got the opposition a 390-0
vote in the House. They couldn't even get one guy to vote for the opposing view.

Sure, they can spread that out between 5-6 of their new hires.

Most of those guys on that board are how old? Do you really think they would have voted that over 60 meant you shouldn't work? Those old geezers in the government are old also of course they voted for it or they would have pretty much been saying they were to old to work. That's why it was 0 not because of your reasoning. EVERYONE KNEW 60 Was IT its just the classic "all about me" generation that has done nothing but continue to cause the industry to deteriorate, not even a close example of your predecessors!!uke:


I can only hope my generation of pilots actually does something to better the profession. Rant Over!!

Yes, sad and downright pathetic anyway you look at it...
