Hey Riddler,
Welcome aboard. I'm afraid too that this age 65 increase has put quite a damper on things for many aspiring airline pilots and pretty much slammed the doors shut for lots of newhires. Sad in my book. It'll be interesting to see if all those "age 60" pilots who stayed on or pulled their papers will now be calling in sick to burn all their banked sick time. If so, this is going to cost the airlines a ton of money, not to mention require them to start hiring again. I hope that's the case. If you need anything, drop me a line.
