Retirement age
Buddy of mine who was at the Delta LCA meeting today was told by the FAA that they are looking at eliminating the retirement age and going to a cognitive test. Fly til you die, or can’t pass the physical.

But feel free to add a cog test starting at 45!

Isn’t the average age of those retiring from Delta around 63? I’d say this would be helpful if a vast majority currently went to 65 but I think this only helps keep a small minority around for a short period of time. As much as Delta expects us to fly, I don’t see this as enticing too many to stick around after 65.
