Hi,
I will be shortly arriving at the point at which my company will want to consign me to the scrap heap of used pilots before becoming time expired! I’m seeking information from colleagues employed by UK airlines regarding the retirement policies in their own companies.
What would be helpful is the wording for such terms as:
- Normal Retirement Date
- Compulsory/Mandatory Retirement Date (if such a term exists)
- Whether or not your company allows pilots age 60+ to remain in service, and if so can they remain in the left hand seat?
- If retirement is mandatory on reaching a certain age, how is that worded in your contract or collective agreement.
- Is you company taking note of the fact that as from 1st October, 2006 it will be illegal under EU law to have any sort of compulsory retirement age.
If you’d prefer not to choke up this forum then please contact me at:
Many thanks in anticipation.
