I’ve heard several of my 135/91k friends say an age 65 rule is coming their way. Where is this coming from? Is it supposed to be change in legislation or company policy? It would definitely make netjets a lot more attractive if they had about 400 guys retire and then some consistent movement.

From multiple sources, a mandatory retirement age via FAA regulation for the 91K/135 world is on the back burner indefinitely.
Whether the company has the stones to try a unilateral policy change and fight the inevitable class action lawsuit is another question. The answer to which I believe is NO.
Unfortunately.

So what age ceases to be arbitrary? 70? 80? 103?
Their rationale is that there hasn't ever been an age limit for 91K/135 and (they claim) there is no verifiable safety risk from Geritol swilling pilots. Therefore no new regulation is needed

I agree with you. But the gummers say an age limit is "arbitrary."

So basically not enough people have been killed yet to warrant serious consideration. Fkn joke. Makes you wonder what a cog test would reveal.

Does Netjets have recurrent training/checking requirements that would ferret out cog capabilty? I'm 71 and just umpired a college baseball double-header last night. But we have had guys age 60 that we wouldn't let near a baseball field. The age limit should not be arbitrary. Maybe I should apply, not having turned a wheel in 10 years, and show you how it is done. No, nevermind, I'm not cleaning or restocking.

We have two pilots who turn EIGHTY this year. Are you willing to put YOUR family in the back of their jet?
Didn't think so.
And the answer to your very first question is: NO, we don't.
