It is important for ALPA members to know, however, that no plans are being made or even discussed to amend the maximum retirement age for pilots by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Administration, or Transport Canada.

As was explained in the November 4, 2014, FastRead, ICAO establishes rules for the maximum age of pilots used in international operations. That maximum is 65 for captains and first officers. Individual states (i.e., countries) that conform to ICAO rules—including the United States, Canada, and Japan—may only exceed that age for domestic operations.

Late last year, ICAO established an upper age limit of 65 years as the maximum age for any pilot in international operations; previously, ICAO had no maximum age standard for first officers but did limit the age of the pilot-in-command to 65.

Under the Fair Treatment of Experienced Pilots Act, the upper age limit for all pilots in the United States involved in FAR 121 operations was set at 65. Transport Canada adopted the new ICAO standard for international operations, which became effective November 13, 2014.

Man!!! Why did you have to go and use facts?...they are so boring! Why can't we just let the spectators make uneducated claims and start rumors, they are way more fun!

Because its coming. Mainline flies 65 percent if not more in domestic ops. Shortage of pilots, they will increase to 67 for domestic ops only, or cut back 30 percent of flying to match pilot staffing.

Heaven forbid they raise wages and improve QOL to attract people back to the industry.

Heard rumor Mesa is getting 20 more 900's and 15 more Ejet's. I guess when you are the cheapest you keep getting flying.
