Just imagine a 65+ guy and an 800 hour CFI flying around a wounded, empty, 200. What could go wrong?

Not even considering how crazy it is anyone would even consider passing up on any flying without something SUBSTANTIAL in return.

If you are shorthanded, you need to hire and upgrade more. Bottom line.

Not push the finish line back so these lifers flying around RJ's for 140k a year can continue to dip in the fountain for a few bucks.

Have you heard of scope? Hold onto it like it is your lifeline

No joke. The top lifers at SKW are not satisfied with the the extra 5 years 65 bought them. They're more concerned about the super sikk day rate and staying behind the RJ tillah until death.

Won't happen, and that came straight from the people at CAMI. They give the airlines 5 years to deal with the shortage and they hired zero pilots.

SkyWest doesn't have a contract, let alone scope

Blah blah blah, the people at CAMI said the same thing about 65. According to the FAA guy we had in the jumpseat, 67 is coming whether you like it or not.

Bring it on. I want to fly until I'm 80. And let PBS load me up so I can get out. Who wants days off when you are using each day to escape!!

I've heard the same story about an FAA jumpseater saying the paperwork was already done so that must mean 65 is here to stay!
