- 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.....)
Great idea Huck! I could live with that. A second but less popular one would be for all pilots currently at a carrier are out at age 60. Those hired after the rule change can stay until 65. This way everyone on that seniority list from that point on are all affected equally.
