Yes but with the current hiring numbers the young pilots being released from probation far outweighs the senior 60+ year olds pushing for this.

As you know, there is no known cure for Herpes. It may go dormant, only to return with a vengeance.

no, they would pass single pilot operations before raising the retirement age

Yeah, Dave should be reminded of it too. A bag tag would be great, or maybe a just save a picture on the iPad for use as a background in the right moment.

To me there are rational reasons for and against 67, but that display was awful. At least the pilots that showed up today didn’t repeat the display.

"My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men."

(I don't actually care about this issue at all. It's just a great go to line when a bill is passed or not passed, a politician is elected or defeated, and when I found out mid flight that the pilot lunches we thought weren't catered were actually in the back of the airplane all along.)

This was actually a cognitive screening and it played out how some of us suggested it might.

"Delta Dave" looked like one of those weirdos that show up on JoeyBToonz YouTube videos.
