Age 65

[pilotyip]

Why are you on the fractional part of the board having this argument?..........I'm so tired of this argument, I think anyone who wants this rule is setting themselves up for a good screwing. (Taking away an option you may very well need. One big medical problem could wipe out your savings, or getting sued, who knows? A natural disaster? So much could happen)

"Carma is a bitch"!

Good luck to you all, and you as well Mr. Hamburger

Hey!, this is a pilot board stop dealing with reality.

Humbuger is exactly the reason why you don't want this rule. You'd have to put up with a bunch of green-eyed little boys who want your seat. You're lucky that isn't the case in the fracs...yet.

That's as stupid as the stereotype that every 60+ pilot wears depends in addition to their bifocals. Every First Officer I know at NetJets is at least in their 30s. All have an ATP and at least one if not several type ratings. That is certainly more qualified than most of the 60 plus ex 121 pilots I have met at NJA when they were hired at XYZ major airline when they were in their 20s.

FF,
I was an FO at NJ until furloughed. I'm 63 and in my hire class of 8, 3 were over 60. Plenty of NJ FOs in the older brackets. I had an ATP before 30 and I have 9 type ratings. Quit making up your facts. More qualified, my a--.

The only pilots screwed were those forced to retire at 60 and lost around one million in income that guys like Hamburger will earn in those 5 extra years, if they so chose. That's the kind of choice I prefer to have. Greed? Hardly. As mentioned elsewhere, it's called opportunity.

Guess I wasn't so stupid after all, FF. And the term "little boys" has nothing to do with age. It has EVERYTHING to do with maturity. Throwing tantrums about "I want what you have" doesn't qualify as maturity.

Amen, brother.

Where was the push amongst airline captains to allow those who were forced out at 60 to return to their respective companies at the seniority they held when they left?

 

[Helmsalee]

imacdog, it was the younger guys that put that in the law. However, human nature being what it is, the older guys did not mind as long as it happened before they hit 60. I know first hand. Imissed the cutoff by 9 days. And yes Pervis, that would have been worth over a million $ to me (way more than my twice bankruptcy hit retirement funds).

 

[fob727]

At my airline, they were allowed to bid for a position. Don't know about other airlines.

That is exactly my point. Not all (more like none) of NetJet First Officers are young and "Green eyed little boys who want your seat".

They are union dues paying coworkers who have a different opinion than others.

Stereotypes remove any validity to any argument.
