How about we have an age 60 rule for 91K? That would save about 250 jobs!

How about 65 for a variety of reasons.

Nope, just can't go along with that.
As one who lost his job, I would guess I would still have it if the "over 60" crowd left the building.
Forcing people out just because of age is not a good idea.
If they can do the job, let them stay. It is their choice.

Lets revisit this issue When Art is about 58 years old?

Yes Art, I know the young guys get sport out of making comments that get the old guys spooled up.

I've become bored by it.

I have good news if you are going to Mount Pleasant TX. They have a Hanoi Jane Target in the urinal. I went twice and got two bullseyes! Enough levity. I talked to a couple of Netjets guys in AUS yesterday. The "L" word has not been spoken over there yet. That is great news!:beer:

How about the ones that cant do the job and the rest of us have to pick up the slack? Whats your suggestion for them? Why should I have to do both jobs cause some ol Fart cant hack it anymore?

Please read my post. I said "If they can do the job". If they cannot, then it is time to go on to greener pastures.
I'm well under 60, currently displaced, and close enough to the top that I would be employed by Flex if all the over 60 guys left, but I feel that kicking them to the street because you hit a certain age would be wrong on so many counts.

I guess I will play the game,,,,

Please read my post. I then said "it is time to go on to greener pastures".

Not my pay grade to figure out the way. That what we have stellar management for.

Did you guys ever see Logan's Run? Good movie.

Fortunately, my palm won't start blinking for at least a few more years....

"NO! Don't go in there! You don't have to die! No one has to die at 30! You could live! LIVE! Live, and grow old! I've seen it!"

"Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!"

-- great flick!!!

As for "Good News?" Nope, nothing to report this week... check back in a month... ;-)

Cant say i agree with the 60yrs than the boot thing or 65 for that matter. but I would like to see some companies institute an "over 60 company medical". to many guys get a handshake medical just because they have known each other for years. If you can pass the company medical at 60 70 80.... than god bless you have earned it. but if the mere thought of this thread worries you than.... Well...

I'm well under 60

Hung

Are you sure about this statement?????? We need to define the term "well under".

 

[Hung Start]

You'll see. You get to a certain stage and 60 minutes before hitting age 60 is "well under".

Cheers, young buck!!

You shouldn't. You should call your chief pilot and tell him "I don't feel comfortable flying with Joe Oldfart because...." and be specific. A good CP will not do something when he hears it once, but when he hears it from several different sources, things will start to click.

(Pre-emptive strike) This is not "throwing him under the bus". This is ensuring the safety of future flights for yourself and your customers. I'm not talking about calling because a guy flew one approach too fast/slow/high/low - but because a pattern of being behind the power curve is obvious, or because he clearly doesn't get it.

Nevermind,

You'll figure it out when you get older.
