FAA Part 121 rules playing catch-up with ICAO standards

The soon to be enacted FAA Part121 age-65 rule will help to keep many well qualified airline pilots in the USA. Presently, many ALPA age-60 "retired" USA airline captains have benefited from Direct Entry positions at foreign air carriers. Curiously, since last November, these over age-60 pilots are now also operating their foreign registered birds into their home turf.
