Vote NO

I plan to vote NO for any change to the age 60 rule.

 

[CarjCapt]

Vote Yes

If given a vote, I'm voting a resounding YES

 

[Green Banana]

Well, I think that we will all vote NO if you are under 50. Get out of my left seat!!


When I am 55, OK. Let me stay a while to pay off my six wives.

Well, I don't fly for an airline...but I do have aspirations to fly for one specific company flying some orange beasts, some purple beasts...and I say leave the rule as is. I don't want to be working past 60. Of course, for those that chose aviation as a second career and got started quite late in life, or those that lost their pension for whatever reason, they may NEED to work past 60. Well, in that case, there are corporate jobs.

ALPA recently had a pretty interesting mailing in the Oct. issue of In Focus on the FAA age 60 rule. It was only six or seven pages but it detailed ALPA's stance from the early days to present day. I wish I would have not thrown it out.

I will vote YES YES YES YES YES, and for all you young smart know it all pilots that are against it you must face one reality in life. You get older everyday and before you know it you will be 59. Cheers.

The only rule that should apply is can the pilot pass the medical and the flight tests.

Why should I not be allowed to fly anything that I can show profficiency on just because I am over 60?
