For these reasons, JetBlue Airways supports the immediate repeal of the age 60 retirement rule. If this takes place, JetBlue intends to offer a return to active flying to all retired pilots who are still medically qualified, and are below the age of 65. Retraining will be provided. Since flying with an under-60 pilot is required, the crew scheduling software will have to be modified to assure full compliance with any new regulatory regime.
For all you junior guys out there, you better look hard at what raising the age will do to your career progression. The guys in the age 60-65 age bracket are fully intending to come back and take your jobs.
If you don’t like the scam the senior guys are trying to pull – write the FAA and your congressman. Time is running out.
