position) during critical phases of the flight (such as below 10,000 feet). The FAA expects air
carriers and PICs to use best scheduling practices and crew management to ensure maximum
compliance with this recommendation to have a pilot under age 60 be at the controls (a crew
duty position) during critical phases of the flight (such as below 10,000 feet). Issues such as pilot
seniority are not considered valid reasons for noncompliance.
Note the bold print - no requirement to comply with suggestions or recommendations, just like all the other stuff the FAA puts out - wide open for abuse by any creative airline management.

So what we will end up with is 3 ND's and 1 almost ND and the MEC changing their stance on RFO's being FO's

Oh no, the US not in full compliance with ICAO standards! Oh the horror.

Too bad we didn't decide to treat the entire age change as a "suggestion".

Wel,l at the ALPA Flight Time/ Duty Time Conference the FAA brief was given by a Senior Division Chief. His cut was compliance was expected with violations assesed for non-compliance.
