Re: Stop The Law Project To Let Pilot Work Until 65 Years Old

handflying,

No-one owes you or anyone either a job or a promotion. If someone is qualified and capable, it is entirely up to them when they retire. If you are currently filling either seat of an airliner, leaving would open up an opertunity for an up-and-comer. Going soon?

This is a professtion, not a charitable act. We do our jobs to earn a living and it is up to each of us to assess our own circumstances and decide when we want to hang it up. I sincerely hope to be in a position to quit when I'm 60, but that will have more to do with the world economy than with me.If I make the decision to work on, that is MY right, and I would ask you to butt out!
