Lets me get this, the age 65 rule caused two pilots in their 30's and 40's to crash? Wouldn't have been better to have two 60+ experienced guys in that cockpit?.

Like I said, nothing makes a dent in your thinking.

The lack of ethical seniority progression, along with a windfall age change that did not allocate experienced workers across the profession, contributed to that accident. The expressed ageism and seniority aggression that pilots like you hold will eventually be understood as the liability it is.

However, as I acknowledge that younger pilots got hammered due to their lack of advancement or security, it would nice to hear that some younger folks understand that many older pilots were hurt over the years as well.

I understand it fine. The problem is the older pilots weren't hurt "over the years" by the younger pilots. The reverse is true.

But if you or anyone else think it's cool to say "get the f--k out", well, tough.

What if I say "thank you for all you've done, now exit stage left, please. Oh, and here's your case of Ensure." Is that cool?

get the F__k out

Nice touch of reality, rare on FI. As opposed to the pilot centered victim post.

I fly with some guys approaching 80, they do a good job, then again they have younger guy like me in the cockpit to back them up.

BTW Merry Christmas to all, thank God for everything we have compared to the rest of the population.

You mean the Fast/Slow indicator doesn't look just like the glideslope dot?

I love watching over-the-hill old geezers trying to pretend they are still young bucks.

Pathetic.

It's like watching a greasy, balding old man buy a sports car - overcompensating, of course.

I can't wait to pry their greedy, insecure, shriveled baby boomer hands off MY YOKE.

Reference the over-70 guy who can't cut it anymore, a less ethical person, would consider using psychological ops on him:

This is powerful stuff.

Anyone see "Flight Plan" with Jodi Foster? That was a textbook example of gaslighting.

Nicely dodged. Again.

WHERE do you draw the line Yip? We have to legislate based on the average, not the exception. It IS a safety issue in our operation.

Welcome back, holidays is over, back to the games. Ah! yes the famous safety banner, whenever there is little data to support your point and you have to make a point, wave the safety banner. Why because no one can be against safety, it like motherhood, baseball, and fluffy kittens. :laugh:What was dodged?

Oh! good you found the famous over 60 accident due to a crew screw up that has been posted on this site a 100 times. How many under age 65 crew screw ups would I have to post to show all crews do this regardless of age. I will start with the CAL DC-9 gear up landing at IAH in 1996, How about the AE BE-31 at RDU in 1994, or the UAL DC-8 at Portland in 1978.

I love watching over-the-hill old geezers trying to pretend they are still young bucks. Pathetic.

Remember if things work out for you, you also may have the option of joining the "over the hill gang"

What was dodged? Really?

Yip, I'll type slowly and in full caps so you'll get it.

WHERE. DO. YOU. DRAW. THE. LINE???

80? 90? WHERE?

And yes, in my operation we're talking about a safety issue because DOZENS of pilots are in their SEVENTIES. You don't think it is a safety issue when the 73 year old clown I referenced before can't hear? Can't see? Can barely keep the jet on the runway? Won't quit despite repeated complaints from other crews?

Your constant deflection and parsing of EVERY post demonstrate clearly that either you KNOW you're wrong or your reading comprehension has fallen victim to your own age-related decline.

Once again. Slowly and in full caps:
