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.

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.

Probably the dumbest thing ALPA has done. UAL wants to expand and grow along with other airlines and ALPA is putting up a roadblock to mainly international expansion. Good thing these geniuses are not managing the airlines. But I digress irregardless of ALPA passing a worthless resolution the FAA / ICAO and Congess will increase the age because the traveling public will demand it. It's the only option that will fix the current mess overnight
