Go be a CFI
They aren’t lobbying against the MAJORITY of their dues paying members. Feel free to turn in your card at any time and pay the maintenance fee for the incredible contract you work under. You had your time and when you signed up it was 60 and you knew that then, yet you continued.
Anyone that has sat on enough Jumpseats watching the 60+ knows that experience matters up to a point. The ability to use short term recall and multitask is highly degraded. If it was about aviation safety you’d take that wealth of knowledge and teach someone in a piston single where only the two of you are at risk, not my family in the back of a jet.
The day we take a family member’s keys is a tough day but we know it has to be done. Driving is not a right it’s a privilege. Flying a jet with people in the back is not a right either, it’s a privilege. You have a he right to work doing something else.
That’s well put. I’m early 50’s with close to 20k hrs. Can’t really imagine wanting to go over 65. The goal is still pre 60 as that was the plan when I started.Originally Posted by Noisecanceller
