wasnt the whole point to alleviate staffing and allow experienced pilots to fly? How does having WB pilots sitting at home work toward that goal?
That huge sucking sound you hear is all the senior 64 year old NB A pilots bidding to WB A on the next AE. A way better deal than the VEOP. Once they figure this out they will all be 66.75 and won't ever go back to training to whatever the bureaucrats and ALPA and ICAO let the 65+ fly.
This is actually a reduction in their age limit. Before it was unlimited. They were having serious issues getting some of their pilots to hang it up.
I am actually curious if they had data saying what age increases risk, and did they need to balance that data with their pipeline of recently retired airline pilots?

They're all playing chicken with the company thinking they'll be the ones to finally get a bypass and immediately using 11.G.7 when they realize the company is actually gonna make them train.

Been a lot of that going around ever since that provision became a thing.
