Age 65
It's a whole load of B.S. that age 65 came about due to any thing other than greed. It's amazing that this law just "popped" up over a weekend. It's the greed of the companies and the greed of those old fart captains sitting in my seat. I think this just goes to show that age 65 was too much -- law should be repealed and age 60 should return as the norm.
The average age of the F/Os at my company are: 47-48. Average age of our 777 CAs: 58-59. We haven't hired in years and still have 1985 guys walking the streets.
There's a little bit of tongue-n-cheek about the seat deal.
Those F/Os did a great job. They were required to declare an emergency, but that didn't require them to land short. BTW, I don't think the wx in EWR required an auto land so hand fly that puppy.
