I'm afraid a lot of you still don't get it. Not every single pilot will stay to age 65. If you do, you get to be relatively more senior than if everyone retired at 60. Your career will be better off for having the choice to stay or to go.
P.S. Twombly is only reporting what his brothers are saying. Don't kill the messenger.
HAL, I don't think you get it. Age 65 is here...fine, we're all dealing with it. What I have a problem with is the total lack of judgment on both Gerry AND Mark's parts for printing such crass comments. It's one thing to make such comments to a close confidante in hushed tones over an adult beverage, it's quite another to publish them in one of the most widely-read aviation magazines in the country! This a is a zero-sum game. Gerry's windfall is coming at the expense of all those who must endure flying with him. I hope they make his life a living hell for the next eight years. :uzi:
First off Instructor Dude needs to be permantly banded fromed this site.
Second, I have been paying AOPA dues for 8 years, and support most of their causes. But they issued a statement a month ago stating it was about time the age 60 rule was changed to 65 due to age discrimination. What?! If age 60 is age discrimination, so is age 65! Anyway this last article really takes the cake. I am going to respond to them that they need to consintrate on the user fee issues, not the issues of the 121 world. If they keep this up, I will stop paying my dues. This article is completly out of hand. By the way, AOPA blames the airlines for suggesting user fees for GA. Hmmm-
You Fedex boys don't have a hair on your collective arse if this tool hasn't received a hot steamy one in his brain bag yet. What a JERK! (sad thing is we've got plenty of the same ilk over here)
