Bernd,
Lets put it this way, at age 60 you cannot be a pilot of a big 121 type commercial plane. That is, no airline flying! I think you can still fly 135 in Lears and props, but no 121 big jet stuff. You can however work for some of the fractionals flying the big wigs around in Lears and stuff becuse that is part 91, general aviation flying. Even though you are being paid, its not considered commercial aviation. NO air line flying after 60 unless you move to the side saddle seat in some old clunker, which we have 13 of now! At 60, its the end for just about everyone over here, but we can't get social security or medicare, until our respective age comes up; 67 for me! What am I gonna do for 7 years? well, who knows, but I hope this passes this time around.
