On their 65th birthday, they either must retire, or (I guess) they, having already spoken to the company, can train or re-train for the 727 back seat. For the record, I'm going to retire on my 65th birthday.

Thanks JJ --- but, in the scenario you describe they'd have to remedy their medical condition, pass a physical and come off LTD to train/re-train to the SO seat.
What happens to a currently qualified, 66 yr old, Second Officer who finds himself on LTD.
How long can he remain on LTD status?
Thanks.
