Sluggo_63 said:But FAA instrument procedures are substantially different than ICAO instrument procedures. Are we in violation there since we don't use the ICAO standard in our country. There is an exemption to BATA. I don't think we are in violation of the treaty because we have a lower age.
Going to age 65 may allow foreign airlines a five year hiatus in hiring, then it will resume at the same pace as before. It's just all the junior pilots get the "privilege" of staying in their seat an additional 5 years.
This is a poor argument.
Actually, so is yours!
Another 5 years, so what? Some people are on furlough for 5 years, others have been looking for a "decent" job for twice that time! No one said it was a perfect world, let alone in this business.....
Your time will come, just try to be a little be patient - that's a virtue by the way.
Think of it this way, it ALSO gives you an extra 5 years at the end when you are earning the big paychecks.
All this "we want it and want it now, move over, it's my turn" is getting old
It's coming and you might as well get used to it as we eventually get in line with the rest of the world.
