The end is nigh!

Maybe it won't smell so much like metamucil, viagra and bad financial planning in the pilot lounge anymore.

Oh yeah...5!

I guess I should have registered the GeezerMeter trademark when I coined the phrase more than 3 years ago (look it up, post #18).

Regardless, a Happy Christmas present to my airline colleagues. Now, if you could just convince the Fed to apply a retirement age to ALL compensated flying, we'd all have candy and nuts for the holiday....

We'll see if as many of the age 65 guys get hired to fly like the 60 year olds did. I don't think they will; Age 65 will become the defacto limit IMO.
 
I don't see the corporate world being as keen on hiring 65 year old retirees as they were to hire age 60.

Although, if a pilot shortage actually occurs, maybe they will have no choice.
 
My "No-Fly" list has exactly ONE person on it. Deaf as a post, hands of stone, and sharp as a marble but since he's SEVENTY-THREE, I guess I have to cut him some slack because he has so much "experience" and all.... There's OLD 70 and there is YOUNG 70. This guy is FOSSIL 70.

Yes, we need an age limit on ALL compensated flying for those in the 91/91K/135 world that ALREADY HAVE the job.
 
F O U R!!!!! Yes I got one in before the end- Yeah for me!!!!
 
Four......................

I've seen too many aircraft owners proud of the fact that they employ retired B777 or 747 CAs, as though they are super pilots. Pretty comical.

GeezerMeter Bylaws:

Volume 8, Chapter 19, Page 546, Paragraph XVIMCI states:

"In the last 5 days of the countdown, if said poster posts before Midnight Whatacentral time; 5 minutes are added to the spot time of the post and any further posts that night are considered null and void."

Ain't my rules, they're the school's rules!!

I like how this thread is going like every single Age 60+ guy is just going to tank out in 4 days from now. There's hardly any retirements this month, and very little in 2013. We'll see what happens a few years from now, but in aviation anything more than a year from now is like a lifetime away.
