URGENT ACTION REQUIRED TO KEEP AGE 60 AS IS!
Former, Current, and Future Airline Pilots:
As many of you know, the Federal government is considering changing the mandatory Age 60 retirement rule, FAR 121.383(c). If this rule is extended 3 to 5 years, it could result in an additional 3 to 5 years before recall for those on furlough, significantly delayed upgrades in equipment and/or position for those still flying, and substantial stagnation of future hiring for aspiring airline pilots.
Until NEXT MONDAY, 9/30/02, the FAA is seeking comments on an age 60 retirement exemption request by 10 pilots (ages 58-65) and their lawyer. We need as many of you as possible to voice your opposition to this proposed change at such a critical time in the airline industry!
The FAA is allowing online comments at http://dms.dot.gov/. The docket number for this petition is 12501. As of 9/25/02, there were 108 comments if favor of extending the retirement age and only 14 opposed. Please take the time to make your voice heard!
Remember, comments on petitions received must identify the petition docket number involved (12501) and must be received on or before September 30, 2002.
Thanks for your assistance,
