FAA to Propose RaisingCBS Evening News broke the story tonight that the FAA will raise the pilot retirement age to 65. Announcement tommorrow 1/30/2007.
Can we get one for cabin crew.
so much for a recall in this decade!The only reason to drag the process out would be political and to ensure that hundreds more pilots that should be be permitted to continue flying are forced out.
The sooner the better, for all concerned.

Look at that guy out in California, He was 80+ and still driving a car. You can be a pedestrian and still get killed. There is always the Co-Pilot/First Officer on board capable of landing and flying.It could have happened to a 49 or even 39 year old pilot. One situation should not and will not be enough to prevent this from passing.

Just last week a 59 year old pilot died in the cockpit of a Continental 767 in flight. My condolences to his family. This time the flight landed safety because another training Captain was flying as the first officer. The age 60 rule has helped make the US air transportation system the safest in the world and now the government wants to change it. Hopefully your family won't be on the first flight that crashes due to a medical issue of an Airline Pilot who dies at the average age of 62 1/2 and is now allowed to be is at the controls.

What the heck, I'll just buy Microsoft Flight Simulator and get some practice so I can back up the Co-Pilot/Flight Officer.God forbid anything should happen. :mf_boff: :elvis: :cop: :bleh:
