Swell. If you're old enough to date Miss Daisy, probably best to leave the driving to Greyhound.

Hopefully Sully can make it back at 71 years young to sling gear at USAir for some 28 year old millennial. The no age limit can bring back some of the best like Hoot, Darby and Yeager.

Didn’t 2 of them boys ride off to rock'nroll heaven? It's too old. What does Silky Sully say? I've no idea.

Just one.

Sully's the US representative to ICAO.

We are going to need a couple of these high profile old codgers to make it back into the flight deck to get the other old codgers off the rocking chair. Kind of like TopGun is doing to the younger generation. This is an all hands on deck moment to solve the summer of travel misery.

I figure a few months at a regional to get them current and up to speed then straight to a legacy. 6 months at most, just in time for the Holiday Rush. Sounds like Sully is already laying the groundwork at ICAO. This is going to be so awesome.

With all the ATC issues, hopefully we can get their retirement age removed too. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bunch of extremely experienced 70-somethings giving us all speeds and headings into ATL?

It's the only option that will fix the current mess overnight
Are you able to tie your own shoes without any assistance?

Please provide your data to make such an asinine claim.

I believe the UAL TA that just came out had a stipend for black Dr. Scholl's Velcro shoes to help the boomers with their financial difficulties.
