I’ve got 26 years left if all goes to plan. I like my job, but damn, by 65 I’ll be ready to hang it up!

Too many folks getting their knickers in a twist for no reason. The sky is not falling on your career. It’s rather paranoid, for the Entitleds, to think that raising the retirement age is going to affect their progressions. What do you think the percentage of those over sixty continue to age 65? Think about the percentages of those who make it to 65 who want to continue beyond. Consider the number of those who don’t make it through career day, or medical out. I’d wage those number are great than the number who want to carry on beyond age 65.

Australia and New Zealand have no age limit.

I'm sure someone said this about raising past 60, guess what it wrecked alot of people.

At least icao is 65 so those staying can enjoy guppy life or Fifi.

As one of my friends at Quantas put it, the only way to move up the seniority list is for someone to die. That’s partly because their taxes make it harder to get ahead, but also because a remarkable number of pilots don’t know when to say when.

Tell Captain Howe to come on over to Netjets. We're hiring and we've got more than 200 pilots over the age of 65. We even have a couple gummers in their 80's. What could go wrong?

Impressive when you think about it really. By 50, had my fill. Took another 5 to make it so. Miss the action occasionally, never the job. Different strokes for different tools. Tick-tock

My wife has orders to shoot me if I try to fly past 65.

I would say at least 80% go to beyond 60 and closer to 65!

Cape Air is catering to over 65 with some type of "Silver (or maybe Grey) Eagles program. Many fractionals and 135's are scooping up over 65 because they can't get enough younger pilots. Not so much at NetJets and FlexJet but the smaller companies with less pay and benefits.

At NetJets I flew with some great over 65 pilots. But a percentage of them don't stick around when the reality of having to load bags, stock the jet, and clean the jet hits them.
