My read is that part of the reason to want a pilot full time initially is to get proficient. Show you’re up for the job. And the reason they can let 65+ retired 121 go part time is there isn’t extra benefits cost due to Medicare etc. Finally just generally the feeling that retired 121 adds desirable maturity and experience to the pilot group. Some have also instructed.
