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

Well said Capt Claret and Flying Guy! What these people are missing the point of is it's going to become their right,by law. They won't have to make excuses to keep working. It's nothing to do with bad pensions/bad marriages/bad investment, it's a legal age thing which will apply to everybody. Premature retirement is not going to be forced on people for age reasons, and it will quite rightly be legal. Funny how pilots are supposed to go senile over 60, yet surgeons, lawyers etc are at their peak then!

I agree with the point that if some of these aspiring wannabees would 'retire' from the professsion before wasting all that expense getting started, it would certainly ease up the pressure on their juniors following! The senior experienced people would then be able to give the job the benefit of their experience!
