So here we go again. They moved the age from 60 to 65 a few years back and
those that were at the top of the tree managed to milk a bit more out of the
industry. Now they're back for more.
So you must be one of the younger guys flyinthesky?
When I first got my licence the retirement age for pilots was 65, (UK), and I planned for it, this was arbitrarily reduced to 60, without evidence or consultation, by the minister at the time, I eventually lost five years pay as a B744 skipper. When the age for retirement recently went back to 65 all that happened was a grievous wrong was righted. Please try and see the big picture.
