[QUOTE=Diverb;3511815]what is the rationale behind flight departments not wanting to hire a retired airline pilot? Sure there’s the age but they are coming with a ton of experience and they probably already have health care and that’s an expense of the flight department doesn’t need to pay[/QUOTE

EJM Hires retired airline pilots. The only accounts where a retired 121 pilot isn't a good fit are the accounts that fly a bunch of international.
We have a few accounts that are all retired airline guys.
Thats not EJM's rules, its ICAO.

Fly Safe!
