Love those free markets, this is already fixed:
"Meanwhile, on the Frontier Airlines earnings call on Tuesday, CEO Barry Biffle said pilot shortages are no longer a problem. “On the pilot side we’ve seen a dramatic change in the market place,” Biffle said, responding to an analyst question about pilot availability. “When you see the regionals being able to be staffed, I think that tells you everything you need to know about the shortage of pilots. So we don’t see any challenges there.”
Pilot shortage is here. Age 67 is not needed to solve it.
if age 67 has the FAA saying it's good, air lines approving, ICAO all in, and unions wanting it, and sympathetic airline pilots testifying before Congress, I would say it would pass easily.
Given it's the exact opposite I would say it probably will not happen and it most definitely should not happen.
Until I'm 63. :-D
actually that's not true, i don't want to fly that long. The moment I've got enough I want to coast out.
