Essentially, there is no age limit at any regional...so pull-up your Depends Sports drawers and join us!!

They still have to kick you out of the cockpit at 65 though?

They do, but they can use you in the training department or part 91 repo/ferry flights over 65.

I can't speak for RPA. But I have heard of the training program happen somewhat often. The part 91 stuff.... that was like 2% common when I was a scheduler at my previous airline. We'd have airplanes get heavy checks, paint, go to the desert, etc.

That’s interesting, never heard of it, but it would make sense to do to keep the 121 flying routes
