Soon this thread will have to be converted to a daily known retirements thread! Not long now, I wonder who the first pilots will be and how many will go the first day?
 
We had one that was supposed to retire on the day the bill was passed. I believe he has roughly 70 days, 4 hours, and 23 minutes left!

Retired Pilots Die Earlier Than Most, Study Says : Workplace: A global survey of fliers will look at why longevity figures for the pilots seem to be worse than for the rest of the population.






NEW YORK — Sixty percent of 282 retired airline pilots included in a recent study died within five years of leaving their jobs, according to an international pilots organization.
Officials of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Assns., which met in Washington this week, refused to speculate on the reasons for the large proportion of untimely deaths but said they have begun a worldwide study of the matter. The group represents about 700,000 pilots in 69 member organizations, mostly pilots unions.

This was when the retirement age was 60.
