Do they have a specific number in mind or will this be as long as one passes the medical/fligh test, because any number would be as arbitrary as 60!
Dizel8 said:"my guess is that it will be a conservative change to something between 62 and 65....so it jives with soc sec."
But why 65? Particularily in light off, that we may see changes in SS rules and that the longer your delay taking SS the more you get. Still strikes me, that any specific number proposed would be arbitrary.
Why not just make it, that as long as you are medically fit and can pass the training, you may continue to fly?
Personally, I would rather see change to the SS rules, that allows pilots to collect at 60, since it is a federally mandated law that forces retirement. Of course, since the general population thinks we a "overpaid fat cats", that would probably never happen.
