I mentioned this in another thread, although here it is again.
Age 65 in the US may mean that the US is now the world's largest exporter of ex-pat pilots. The restriction prior to 12/13 was that the host country had to allow flying to 65, and for that reason FAA certificate holders weren't eligible to fly for most foreign carriers.
For the US pilots that lost their pensions (which includes a HIGHLY experienced group), longevity doesn't mean much. I'd guess if foreign airlines want to hire an experienced group of pilots - let the bidding begin.
My personal feeling is that Prater (et. al.) will roll over on the MPL issue - "it's going to happen, we just want a seat at the table". Which will make the age 65 issue pale by comparison IMO
BTW - who ever gave APC a credit in the
linked article comment.....Thanks!
