Have you seen the average NJA pilot??? Many of the senior guys at NJA are on the "fly til you die" program, but eventually they will start keeling over. I'd say we have one of the oldest pilot groups in the industry. Fortunately, we are starting to hire younger applicants as the competition gets fiercer, but I'd say at least 3 out of 5 pilots at NJA have grey hair (or no hair) and more than a few are just a couple years away from needing a walker.
