If you simply must fly , no one will stop you
The whole point is, that someone WILL stop you. That is what enforced retirement is all about!

I agree that if individuals or companies have an agreement to retire pilots at 55 or 60, then that is what should happen. However what is happening is that people are being forced to retire against their will, and in some cases against the will of the employer too.

Contracts are one thing, the law is something else.

And quite frankly, Picture, I find your put-down about freight, charter and Timbuktu a tad offensive for someone who has just subscribed to PPrune in order to make this first post.
