Young Only! Old Need Not Read!

In how many careers is part of the interview find out how many folks above you will retire?

Do you ask that when applying for a CPA or engineer position??

And to the above retard critical of my spelling screw you dck head. You are probably some old bsturd! Some of my misspelling is on purpose. And also, I don't have to spell to fly my B777 dumb a$$!

The point is lets get the young mobilized and working to defeat this!!

Not going anywhere for a while? Try a snickers.

I'm 32 and against raising the age 60 rule. However, I think Lucky does a disservice to all older pilots in general. My old man retired at age 60, is in good shape, and fly circles around me and the vast majority of my cohorts. I don't plan to fly a day past 57 (depending on our current contract), but I also understand not everyone feels that way. There are good arguments either way, but they should be left to people who are willing to discuss it seriously and maturely....and that obviously removes this clown-act 777 F/O from the discussion.

In my experience, that would make your old man an extreme exception to the rule.

With all this talk about old guys possibly crashing airplanes because of age issues. Does anyone know what the average age has been of all accidents that were charged to pilot error.

I bet you will find that for the most part the average age is a lot lower than 50.

I'll sit in the back of an airplane piloted by a 65 year old experienced pilot any day over a 20 something pilot just learning how to fly...

Youth?

How about those two guys flying that CRJ who wanted to "410 it dude"?

Instead of trying to f&%k your fellow pilots out of the chance to recover what management has stolen from them rather than go be a greeter at Wal-Mart, why don't you and the other kids try to lift the profession back to what it was when we screwed it up?

Walk the line RIGHT NOW! The company will recognize that it can't possibly survive if it doesn't retain such talent and capitulate at once. You will have saved the profession for YOUR generation--until it's time to tell the following generations of pilots that raising the age is ok because 'they will get theirs'... TC

BTW--If you believe you've learned everything there is to know about flying after only 1000 hours in the left seat, you are a moron--and an unsalvagable one at that.

LOL...hope you're the flexible type.

LOL...hope you're the flexible type.

Yeah, you're right. I was telling my bro we needed to find something else to do sometime over the next 10 or 15 years. We'll need other jobs when Fred opens up a village in East Memphis for chinese pilots on work visas.
