No, Jetlaggy. Currently there is no mandatory retirement age under Part 91, 91K, or 135. In the past, Netjets has had pilots on the seniority list over the age of 80. There are approximately 100 over the age of 70 right now and somewhere around 300-350 over the age of 65.
Why would NJ want to implement this age 70 thing immediately, wouldn’t that cause a bigger pilot shortage if there’s 100 pilots over 70?

Or are a lot of those over 70 pilots already out on disability? What type of disability plan does NJ offer?
