As in the first post- congrats on fine careers to all those soon to ride off into the sunset!

Non 121 retirements?
I wonder what the retirements will be like on the corporate and 135 side? Sans a definitive age 65 rule, I am not aware of a good way to track or quantify that group of pilots.
One would imagine the amount of retirements will begin trending further and further higher.
I have heard a few stories of a few over 65 guys who keep plugging away. Did anyone see the story of that Baron that crashed in Illinois the other day? The pilot was 74. Granted, he was an owner in the company, but still hard at it til the end. God bless.

You guys are High Rollers! I thought you were Airline Pilots!
About all I can afford is a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA.
I'll be watching Jay Lenno at midnight, with a beer in hand.
Here's to a long, happy, healthy retirement for all the 65yr. olds.
Salute!
