Now this is a gem. Let The Coots Fly Act people now seem to want to "mentor" the regional pilots hence going to RAA. That's beautiful... the FAA should bend the knee to them and carve out an exception for aircraft with 70 seats or less, and have no retirement age there - just Class 1.

I think old coots in the left seat at a regional would properly age some of these 'stache youngin types, so by the time they get here, they'd likely lose the 'stache because they will have been "mentored" grey, ergo not needing the 'stache anymore to look old enough. Could be a great thing too.. 🤪
