Don’t raise the retirement age! Lower the hour requirement. I’ve had not issues with newbie pilots Speaking from experience as a TRI/TRE overseas on and off for 24 years. Pilots from foreign lands are issued frozen ATPL with some as low as 250 hours. The freeze is removed once 1,500 hours is reached and passing their LPC’s. Bottom line right seaters are captains in training. Their chance to learn and improve their craft is the guy/gal in the right seat. Can’t blame non instructing captains who are hired to be part of crew equipped with a ready to go out of the box.
