Of course they are. Two drivers: The pilot shortage that finally arrived and the fact that overseas carriers have already done it.

Again, the limiting factor is international, a 66 year old pilot working for a Japanese carrier can't fly to the US, and so forth. The FAA does not change the age rule, congress does. Congress must change USC 49 in order for the FAA to change the 14 CFR regulation. See 49 U.S. Code § 44729. Age standards for pilots. |

I would love to retire today but certain factors will make me stay longer. Healthcare is a huge issue for me. Even if I go to 65 and have Medicare, my spouse is 4 years younger than myself and when I start to add up that cost I will stay longer than I want to. Bid back to 787 FO and fly maybe 60 days a year for $200k. Easier to stay.
I would guess some airlines are pressuring the FAA to change the rule. I think the Legacy carriers would like to see the older guys go and replace them with newer and cheaper pilots. |
For those of us in our 30s I’m way more concerned with single pilot or no pilot.
