Flight Deck Retirement Ages
Thank you for all your information. My dissertation is nearly in and hope that it will make interesting reading!!
My research has shown that it is going to happen that pilots will be able to retire at 65. ICAO has modified its rule to conform with that of the JAA, i.e. one pilot in a multi-crew can be over 60 but the other pilot must be under
60. These changes will become effective on 23 November 2006.
You might like also to look at the CAA LASORS 2006, Section A9, which states the same thing.
Obviously there will be objections that over 60 pilots can not overfly France, Italy and Portugal. My opinion is that they will have to abide by the EU Directive, which has to be implemented in all EU countries by 1st December 2006.
Any comments on this? I look forward to your replies.
