The oldest cabin crew I believe was Delta’s Bob Reardon at age 90.
Others were United’s Ron Akana and Iris Peterson at 83.
And American’s Bette Nash at 82.
Each have a valid claim to some record.
Do you remember the old Qantas advert that said “fly to Australia to see your grand mother, not with your grand mother.”
My source for the 67/11 was neither industry or government, but rather trade union based.
You won’t find anything published as of yet. Because it’s still in committee.
I really don’t care if it ever comes to fruition, as I have no interest in working past minimum retirement age.
Upon retirement, the worst thing you can do is just go home.
I believe and plan on having a motor home, and doing a three month decompression road trip.
There was a pilot who was number one on the west coast. Upon his retirement he’d put on his uniform and sit in his car at the end of the runway to watch HIS flight take-off to Hawaii. He didn’t notice that the lights had changed. And blew his mind out in a car. Just like The Beatles song goes.
This is just a job that we do so we can make some money so we can do other things.
Take it, or yourself too seriously and you’ll have a hard time in retirement.
