Controllers Retirement Age 56

[BLUE BAYOU]

Here's the big one-- and what kind of retirement plan are they looking at (I bet a pretty good one!!!) Firefighters and policemen as well-- they retire early, but again generally have great retirement plans...

What kind of outfit were you working for that had an 80 year old flying? Must'a been a ROPE? Your profile would not indicate such experience. As long as we want to be arbitrary, why not make it as say, 50. Works for me.

50 works for me too.

I was at UAL, before they parked them all the 747's and DC10's had all the FE's over age 60. And like I said at least one was 80 and many were in their 70's. Great guys but they were not as sharp as they should have been.

I worked with many "ROPES" and many were not my favorite people to be around but a few were as great as could be.
Seems like yesterday.
