flyboy007 Not sure why your Jesus/God reference is invoked in a debate about pilots retirement age. Employment conditions are set by Government or negotiation, not by a so called God. They change.
Or do we just do away with any form of aircraft or airline safety as if a 'plane crashes, it is Gods Will.
As to others bleating that by continuing to work beyond 55 these pilots are denying younger and more junior pilots an opportunity for career advancement, Tough, happens in all walks of life. As Pilots are regularly monitored for health and competence, that should be the only criteria whether a pilot can be compulsoraly retired. Nothing to do with 'squandering their pay so cannot afford to retire. The only solace is that the "I deserve the position so go now" brigade is they will be arguing for continuing to work past 55 when they get to that age.
