We had one guy FE that was 79 when we parked the DC-10's. He sat at home for 9 months waiting for a 727 FE class with pay. I flew on the 727 with him.
There was one other guy older than him or same age. Then they parked the 727's. Wonder what his severence package was?

NW has an FE who is 72, and NW has an FA who was in the US ARMY in world war II . The FA has to be at least 82 by all but the most creative math. AND NW has lots of FA's who are too fat to fit through over wing exits.

UAL has a FA named "Iris", whom I believe may still be flying. She's in her 80s, and one day on arrival overseas somewhere (or returning from overseas), the crew was held up offloading because she'd been in charge of the passports and couldn't remember where she'd put them!! Another time she went to work, putzed around in the ramp office, and then they couldn't find her for the flight. Turned out she'd brain-farted and gone home, thinking she'd just FINISHED a flight. Too funny!! But she keeps passing her recurrents, so ...
