Default Oldest Flight Engineer?

Who has the oldest FE? At UPS, our oldest two were born in 1931 and 1932.

I think the oldest at UPS is 62 and 364 days old. Not sure I understand what you're saying. Enlighten us!

Isn't FE's retirement mandatory at 63?

I think our oldest just retired a year or two ago. He was in his early 80's. Either he retired, or he just walked off on a preflight and was never heard from again.

Astar has 10 % of the senority list using walkers with rearview mirrors, horns and flashlights tied on. I believe a couple of the 70 plus guys use hoverounds to do preflights

Funny thread.....good one Jetjok !

I should go over to the Majors message board and start a thread entitled....how old is your oldest F/A. Some are in their 70's pushing 80.
