All of the most recent attempts were age 67

Might as well just make it 69 heh

We are actioning off the next generation's career now, this lot comes complete with self pity and greed.... do I hear 70..going once..last call..any others..going..twice.....

This thread didn’t even make it past 1 page before 67 got brought up. Impressive.

Can we make it 55? I want muh widebody A spot! Now! (Then we can make it 67 or 70).

Thats all this discussion is… a land grab. Anyone is free to “retire” whenever they want (contractual requirements met), up to the federally mandated age.

To the OP, if you’re making life decisions based on micro examination of retirement and upgrade predictions, you’re gonna have a disappointing career.

Lots and lots of 11 year FOs waiting for percentage triggers before they upgrade.

Well, the mandatory retirement age is directly tied to Widget Seniority, so I’d think of all places, it’d pertain.

now, hear me out, i like this guys plan.

And for perspective those 11 year FOs are top 1/3 in the company or dang close to it.

That's how they compute ATC controller's retirement (age limit plus), I believe, not pilots. Whatever the current pilot age limit is a hard limit: "airlines may not employ pilots after they reach the age of 65".

Cthulhu only swims left.

Hard to imagine the FAA coming out and saying "Oops, turns out that statistically >60 was a huge mistake. Let's go back, effective immediately."

(But of course, it hasn't been. At least accident wise. LTD costs are a separate issue.)
