Part 91 Mandatory Retirement

[GSXR600]

New mandatory retirement age:

Part 121 and 135 = Age 65
Part 91 = Age 70

This is followed in eastern countries +/-!

This is all good news-- that should be good for another several hundred recalls overnight to replace the (long overdue) outgoing gummers.

Somehow I think if SCOTUS gets ahold of this one, mandatory retirement age across the board will evaporate. No clue what makes me think this, just gut.

Yup.

However, the Aeromedical branch of the FAA could/should begin enforcing certain existing standards (oh, like vision and hearing) that could effectively cull the herd. There's also motor skills and memory tests that could be applied as screening tools with the same effect.

Of course, when your AME is 80 years old and looks at your retinas 3 times in the same exam because he has no short term memory - maybe this is an indication that the whole medical certification process is fubar'd.

:laugh: I think I go to the same AME

Wait, your AME actually looks at your eyes?

I am good with 70... For myself. But I don't think it's any of my business what someone else does.

We need something like this at the frax.

I hear one fractional is actually encouraging a few of these dinosaurs to retire. All in their mid 70s

They don't realize that they're not good at this anymore. And they're selfish pricks

If you are capable of a little introspection, you may realize that you are the "selfish" one.

+1

Need to make up for the "expulsion" during the prime saving years.

In numerous cases it's more of a matter of self-preservation.
