To me, corporate or private ownership is different. If you're willing to have a 75 year old fossil flying you around and you aren't worried he's going to stroke out and kill you and your family, well, have at it. After all, it'll will only be you and your family and hopefully nobody on the ground.

But 121, 135, and 91K hold out to the public. The person riding around in the back has little or NO say on who is up front. And those operations owe a higher duty of care to the public.

The fact that there is not a mandatory retirement age for 91K and 135 is an absolute TRAVESTY and a major headline waiting to be written. One that will have lasting repercussions for the entire industry.

The number of pilots over 70 at NJ would SHOCK you and we even have more than a handful between 78 and 85! That should scare the CRAP out of you because it sure scares me.

Absolute insanity.
