So all the pilots that are almost 65……do you not understand that there are plenty of flying jobs out there after your 121 life. Or are you all admitting that you are harder to train and can’t learn a new aircraft or operate in the 91/135 world?
Also, if you haven’t financially set yourself up to make it to 67 for SS……..you should speak to a financial advisor. It’s not the junior pilot’s responsibility to sacrifice their career movement because of the 6 times divorced, 8 kids, an airplane, a boat, and multiple house (which you can’t afford without that WB CA pay or crediting 150 hours a month of premium NB CA pay).
Or after 65, you should be moved to the bottom of the seniority list as a NB FO to help the new generation of pilots develop.
