I would think the age 65 rule will slow seniority somewhat, but not as much as folks would think.
Your kidding, right? Obviously you don't know how greedy pilots are. Here at UPS, 95% plus of the over 60 guys have stayed. We have close to over 300 FE's now over 60. Instead of retiring after 30 some years of flying, they go back to the back seat for HALF the pay. And we have both an A and B plan.
So if this is any indicator, 95% of pilots will go to 65 if able.
