Talk about absurdity. You hit 65 and and are perfectly safe. 65 and 1 day your a total disaster waiting to happen drooling all over the place not sure of where you are. REALLY ? C'mon man get real LOL 😆

Kids scarcely out of HS flattened a Reich & sank a rising sun. With adequate oversight of course they can be qualified to operate advanced airliners in number quickly enough to address the issue. Lucky them. According to its secretary this week, the DOT backs no change on age policy.

In my opinion, this will never happen. Lindsey Graham was "looking at this" whatever that means. Check the news, nothing since and no bills/legislation introduced. News flash, the rest of Congress has to approve. Well, it has to be introduced first, which, has not happened.
back to regular programming. If you are 64.8 years old and flying for the airlines, you can skip the plan to hit age 65, become a sim instructor in the training center, "retain your seniority number", and return to the line once this passes.
Sorry boys.

My sense is that will change and if the govt determines Age 67 will help with the pilot shortage they will change it without a thought
Same for dropping the entry level from
1500hrs- 750hrs.
Last time, it basically happened overnight.
ALPA quickly changed its stance so it could affect the legislatation

I watched the interview. Buttigeig doesn’t say yes or no. Classic non answer. What he says is at this point he’s seen no evidence of extending the age won’t be a risk.

My guess is you’re the type who thinks that ‘mentor’ and ‘micromanager’ are synonyms and when your FO points out that you’re below the bravo you tell them that it’s cool to do 250 because ‘it’s what they expect’.
