- It would ensure compliance with the idiotic "One pilot must be under 60" ICAO rule.

Robert Frost once said, "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." If a pilot needs to earn at a lower (but still six-figure) level, he can do it. If a guy has no life and is addicted to the lifestyle he can do it. And the rest of us don't have to lose so much money (I don't have my Porche, yet, JJ.....)
This is a good idea but unless it is part of the NPRN it probably wouldn't survive the first law suit.
