but it does make it reality, so we all have to deal with it. Like death and taxes

I agree. I've dealt with it. It's still thievery.

Everything in this business is a safety consideration.

About the time your link was printed, I was on here writing that any change made should only be to eliminate it. Anything else would be unethical as 60 and 65 are no different... Other than a small group of old guys take a windfall.

Your link indicates in 1958 there were 40 guys over 60 when the limit was first implemented. Seems to me they were a great deal more reasonable back then. It's not like ole CR asked for 55 so he could put hundreds (maybe) out of work, right? Age 65 in 2007 rendered multiple thousands unemployed/underemployed almost overnight. In a far worse economy no less.

Along with the possibility of delay comes the occurances of passengers/owners showing up early and demanding to go ASAP. Additionally, the pilots of corporate aircraft typically have many more responsibilities than walking through the door, turning left, and sitting down.

OK-loading bags and waiting with the pax for the limo to show.

Seems odd to not do something when the clock rolls over 0000 central.

Hmmm what to do.... +2

Argue about stuff?

Sitting around last nIght around mIdnight. Drinking and dreaming about the GeezerMeter Era of FI.

I think Whataburger needs to retire.
