100% agree. I’ll add that retired airline pilots, or just anyone over 65, are making things difficult for everyone at NJA, especially pilots. An age limit is/was desperately needed for many reasons beyond just having to change diapers. And these ppl are not coming here for the money. They want the “adventure” of flying that they missed out on during their airline careers. And there’s the medical. etc etc.

Does this friend of a friend have the initials JL and believes in ponies and balloons? 🤣🤣
Seriously the pilot group deserves it but it ain’t gonna happen. Management is not going to pay more money out unless their hand is forced. Retired airline pilots are heading over in droves, classes are filled and overall attrition is low. There’s no reason to shorten duty days and improve QOL when so many pilots refuse to fatigue and take care of their mental and physical states. Until the metal stops moving for any reason, like they cannot fill classes, attrition becomes unmanageable, and these pilots stop flying half comatose, nothing real is going to happen.

that's interesting, in my interview class of 18, 6 were over 65 and retired airline guys, not one of them got hired?
