It's not discrimination lots of jobs require a min and max age for various reasons.

Not sure what age you are, but my "SS and retirement" now happens at the young age of 67. 65 is better, but 60 would be best.

I just can't wait to be slinging my suitcase around at 3 am when I'm 64. It'll be AWESOME! :rolleyes:

Thanks old guys!

Sir James,

I read your link and think the quote you took is somewhat out of context. Personally, I think the Age 65 thing is a done deal and the FAA is just making it look good before its implemented.

Actually, its the age for foreign carrier airline pilots to fly in U.S. airspace. U.S. pilots are still restricted by U.S. regulations from the same privilege.

Gotta love the government.

That's fair.

The world standard will be age 65 for airline pilots, the pilots employed by US FAR 121 being the exception unless the rule is changed.

OV1D,

Why?? Is flying a part 121 plane the only thing they can do in the world? For your information, if they need the money, there are many other jobs that a retired airline pilot can do – both flying and non-flying.
