Not that old and probably healthier than 90% of those working. Nice to see a non pilot heading the FAA. Maybe now the US carriers can take full advantage of the post pandemic global meltdown and grab market share. Any stagnation won't be the result of bumping up the age a few years but ALPAs short sighted nonsense of opposing it. If ALPA supported it today you would see a massive vacancy bid shortly to follow. But instead airlines are drawing down their schedules not because they want to but because they have to. Again ALPA is so out of touch its frightening. ALPA is no friend of the line pilots right now. They forward crapy TAs and promote US carrier stagnation. If ever their was a better time for US carriers to expand its now and ALPA keeps stepping in it.
