[Focus]

Who amongst us really thinks that we should put this up for VOTE..???????????

 

[Focus]

Thats exactly what I thought.....Rock On.....

 

[dooork]

Abolish the Age 60 Rule for other that Part 91 pilots?

Then I can't fly my Cessna 150?

Unfortunately, I didn't put the poll only question up. Who ever did, set it up backwards from the original post. Sneeky jerk, probably did it on purpose just to throw the results. I didn't pay attention either and voted opposite to my opinion. Therefore, the only accurate way at this point is to continue with the text vote and I'll keep track and keep you posted as often as possible.

The question again as simple as possible with out any strange wording:

Should the age 60 mandatory retirment rule for FAR part 121 operations be abolished? Yea or Nay

I'll post the current results on the next post, stand by...

New numbers based on the text vote as of post #155
(because the poll only question is totally screwed up):

97 votes:

44 YEA (14 mil/30 civ) abolish the rule
54 NAY (16 mil/38 cvi) keep it at 60

56% say keep it the way it is. 44% say the age 60 rule sucks.

Don't forget: vote in text and screw the poll only question.

Of course you can fly a 150 after 60, but why?

Focus: what's up with the random thoughts, boosting your post numbers? Keep it to votes only

That wasn't the original question. Originally Yes=change the rule No=keep the rule.

 

[71KILO]

That wasn't the original question. Originally Yes=change the rule No=keep the rule.

A complait was made that the question was too hard to understand and that the 60 rule applys to -121 ops only versus other than -91. So I worded it more simply, but it is the same question. The moderator (or someone else, I'm not sure) added the poll only question at the top of the thread and worded it opposite of the thread text question in post #1. Your text vote is therefore still good.

Yea or Nay: The federal requirement for other than FAR part 91 operations mandatory retirement age of 60 years old should be abolished.

Abolish the Age 60 Rule for other than Part 91 pilots?


What's the problem? The thread-starter question (first, above) and the poll question (second) are nearly identical: Yea = abolish Age 60, Nay = leave as is.

And BTW, you should have stuck with Part 121 in your question. "Other than Part 91" would include Part 135 -- to which the Age 60 rule has never applied.

Anyway, I'm still AGIN' IT!

 

[backflip]

We're living longer--Yea!

 

[Los1]

Nope--
(no to the change)

The poll question above must have been fixed. Read several pages back when the poll question was added to the thread and you'll see the complaints. It used to read opposite of the way it is now. As far as the other than part 91 versus abolish for part 121 is because people complained that the question was misleading. So abolish for part 121 is more accurate to say. It is the same question either way but pilot attorneys complained.
