65
Excuse me if this has been mentioned before but I do not want to trawl through all the posts.
I have a valid licence, just renewed my LPC/OPC etc etc. I have just turned 65 and I am not even allowed to be the third pilot to extend the FT on a long duty day. Now that IMHO is plain crazy. It is rules for the sake of rules. Where is the safety case for denying me a very cost effective way of helping the crewing situation in my company? It simply means the crews have to fill out more discretion reports.What is safer? 2 crews doing a 14 hour day or 2 pilots + an old fart like me getting in the way. I suppose the space cadets will say the former!
