Question for those on both sides. Is it not discrimination that someone like myself cant come back {Lets make it clear, Im not interested} Why is it that if this goes through, that those who didnt know about this {includes me} or were not informed should be diiscrimated against. Qualifications? ATPL, at this time chief pilot for a corporation, 72 years young, 30,000hrs plus, no violations/prangs, first class medical, one reason Im asking is that I just met one of the folks who wants to go back, has allowed all his type ratings and medical to lapse along with his IFR, {also has a life style to give the
PR department nightmares, but thats niether here nor there} Are the employers expected to pick up the cost of folks like this re writing their ATPLs? IFR renewall costs? medicals? In my case as a corporate pilot I pick up the tab on all of this stuff and claim it back from the Feds.Again, not taking sides on this, but certainly interested. Regards, Clunck.
