Retirement age to 70? (wild speculation)
Has anyone heard news of airlines proposing a retirement age extension to 70?
What benefit would an airline achieve financially by extending the retirement age? Is the industry hurting for pilots that bad? One word...WOW! :eek: |
It'll be just like the Luftwaffe...fly 'til you die.

I'm sure ALPA is totally fine with this. They won't put up a fight.

This has no semblance of fact, somebody was bored this morning.
