NetJets Age 70 Mandatory Retirement
Manager's Amendment has been amended, now it's age 70 for operators with over 150,000 turbojet operations. Still has to get passed by the House, then the Senate and differences worked out.

This also won't hit the schedule nearly as badly. 1 year phase in and at least 60% of the pilots over 70 are already on MLOA.
Having said that, we do have some older pilots who don't know when to quit. They helped bring this about. Some pilots complaining about basically having to fly solo with these guys in the seat. It's just too bad others who still have all their wits about them are getting the boot too.
The amendment was offered by Bob Gibbs (R-OH). I strongly suspect NJA was behind it, the age 65 would have hurt the schedule too much and cost a fortune in sell-offs.

Correction: The above amendment by Gibbs is a stand alone amendment, not part of the "manager's amendment" that Shuster (R-PA) was going to do. The whole package should go to the rules committee this week. If it survives intact then the Senate has to act. Current estimates say late summer for a final vote.
Another big change is NJASAP is now supporting age 70. That was a deal cut earlier today. Had the union not backed this NJA would have continued to push for age 65. Union had an emergency phone conference among the Union Officers and decided to accept the company's offer and support age 70. It's still targeted only for NetJets thou, requiring 150K jet operations per year.

Towering piece of legislation.
"Thanks for the lift Dustin, what an awesome ride. Most of the 4 pars this week really fit my eye so if we can just get some putts dropping…. Holy crap, please tell me those old dudes are just asleep."
