I'm with you on that, some guys forgot what the notion of retirement is.... I commented on this last year and got beat up...
I know 3 guys with young families affected by this, one guy (good friend and neighbor) just had a baby, his third child, his last rotation starts on December 25th ... flew with a 64 year old captain last month, he said " I'm going to give it 3 more years and see how I feel".
I know I'm going to get flamed for this post, but that's OK

Though I'm in a position to benefit from a retirement age for 91k/135, I have to disagree. Whether it was perceived or real, demand was the reason the fractionals were hiring. If the old guys were forced out, more young guys would have been hired. NJA, Shares, Flex, Options would all have the same number of guys on the street right now. Now, if retirement became mandatory effective January 1, 2010, it would be another story. But it's not going to and it's really not an argument worth starting again.

He retired from the airlines in the good ole days and had a full pension. I guess he doesn't like his wife.....

When I come back and fly with these "fly till ya die" guys, I'll be sure to make sure they help chuck bags, clean and do all the other parts of the job. I'm not picking up any of their slack just because they're old.

Let me guess, he didn't participate in any of the voluntary measures either.

Anybody who wants to go fly the X which pays the same as essentially all other fleets , but works harder must be a little off their rocker.

Best of luck to NJA guys/gals that could be furloughed.

We have a guy who is an attorney that has stepped all over my contract flying. He just got his multi-comm last year, and now he is taking food from my kids mouths! I guess I should go to law school and steal his clients. People like this are a disgrace to our profession! Not to mention a liability to everyone else.
