It is very important to note, that it is a survey, not a specific poll, re the fly past 60 issue.

Less than 50% of the pilots responded to the poll, when you get the real numbers. There are 3300 pilots at ac. Only, 1800 responded, and of that amount, only 82% were in favour of not going past 60. Less than 50% of the pilots.

If, acpa, wanted to get real with their numbers, they would do a specific poll, and ask how many pilots wanted to be able, to fly past 60, at their choice. The retirement age can stay at 60, if a pilot wants to retire then, but it would not be mandatory.

acpa has never, had more than 50% of the pilots wanting to keep the age of 60, as the mandatory retirement age.
