Fractionals and pilot age.
Okay, for you fractional pilots:
As I understand it, none of the fractionals operating under Part 91, 91K, or part 135 impose any sort of age limits on their pilots once hired. Pilots just have to pass a first class physical and their sim checks and they can keep working forever.
Three questions:
1. What's the oldest active pilot you have actually flown with (not just heard about)?
2. Does your fractional company have an "unwritten policy" of getting rid of old pilots based on age/competency/or other criterion?
3. Is there any monetary incentive for an older pilot to quit? (I.E. retirement, or severance package.)
Thanks!
(and....no, I'm not old. just wondering.)
