We have some crew menbers over 60 here at Eat who put us younger colleagues to shame. One of them runs 3 to 4 miles on every day stop down route after a full night of flying they are amongst the best operators we have.
Dont forget that all the other pilots have to adjust there financial planning to retiring at 60 now and one or two pilots came to Eat as it had a retirement age of 65.
A very sad affair which I understand is due to a change in the rules in France and possibly Italy and Scandinavia in the near future.
I hope they find a solution and the individuals concerned are dealt with in a caring and fair way.
