Only certain airports and planes are certified for auto land so their availability for crew scheduling would be extremely limited. Better they be sim instructors because you can’t crash a sim only red screen it.

that what I was thinking. Sit back, call in sick a few times a month, max vacation and you're only working a fuller schedule for 5 mo this a yr max. I think it would have zero net + effect on staffing.

When it was still age 60 everyone went back to the panel on the 727 at my airline. More than a few would bid reserve "no fly" and on the rare occasion they got called they would just bang in sick. Then they would bid all the summer vacation slots and work during them to make some money. Then they would go out on medical for a few month, come back for a few months until they died. The lucky younger ones were able to go back to Captain for a few years when it changed to 65. It was a glorious time in aviation! Can't wait for it to return.

How do you handle the icao rules without abrogating seniority? Will 55 year old FO’s bidding domestic trips get those trips robbed for 66 year old FO’s who can’t bid international? Will younger FO’s get pushed off of narrowbodies so a junior 66 year old can be assured of not going overseas? That’s the biggest challenge IMO. I’m fine with 67 if you start at the bottom of the list again so you don’t rob senior people of trips/fleets they want. Everyone seems to forget that older doesn’t always equal more senior. I had a 63 year old a class behind me.

The only people to truly benefit are those who would be about to turn 65. They got an extra 2 years without any expense. Everyone else’s expense is compounded and working until 67 wouldn’t likely make up for the compounded setback. Nobody under 60 should want this.
