Default Age 67 Rule...

Heard they are preparing another rule change. Good luck to the new hires anticipating a 'pilot shortage'.

Does anyone know where the info is on this, from the unions or govt?

your at Delta, heard they have been testing some select senior guys.

Yeah, I was hoping someone would have some better info on what those tests revealed. If they are indeed true.

Testing some 'select senior guys'? How so? Testing their ability to fly at 66 or 67? I don't think so. If fact, I know so. It isn't happening.

The last one took years to push through and the gray tops are leaving pretty fast. I think we are safe in this area. IMO we should be worried about the future of code sharing and cabotage in the USA. Our politicians can currently be swayed by any large corporation with deep pockets and I am sure they will find some way to sell it that will make it appear as a win for everyone involved. This career is barely holding on after regionals were let out of pandoras box and I honestly dont think it will survive another fight.

This is all true! Cabotage is the biggest of concerns. For age 67 though, just stirring the pot. Don't believe the pilot shortage is coming, they will find another way to ruin this profession, if it isn't already.

Age 67 better be an awful rumor.

I had a long chat with a 747 FO at Delta. From what he has seen. Most guy are staying til about 63 before calling it quits. Even if the age 67 rule does pass, I highly doubt most will stay past 65.

At the pace Government moves? As far as I know, there is no movement on this even started. Even if they did, it would be awhile.
