Default Age 60 question

While sitting around at a local airport on a Sunday morning a week ago, a question came up that I could not answer. It concerns the age 60 rule.

One of the guys, strictly a private pilot, asked several questions about age 60 that led to one about part 135 operators. I assumed that the age 60 also applies to all part 135 operations, but a few there felt it did not - only 121 carriers.

I did a little research on the internet and could only find reference to the age 60 limitation applying to 121 ops.

Of course, my thinking was geared to "regional" type operations as I assumed most of them are 135 operations? Am I wrong here, also?

Confused on a very rainy morning.

Age 60 does not apply to 135, however all scheduled airlines (greater than 9 seats I believe) fall under 121 now, including what you referred to as regionals, being the 'express' carriers for the majors. Everyone has an opinion on it, so that's all I'm gonna say.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of the "9 seat thing".

I'm just trying to avoid having to buy some beer!
