Thank God, for the FAA. lts a real shame that other Airlines around the world, dont have the same high standards.
Agreed, if only everywhere banned over 65 pilots, then the rest of us (including those with thousands of hours, not just the so called pimply faced kids)who have no opportunities would maybe get a small glimmer of hope of moving to the left seat....you know, after those who've pretty much had progression handed to them on a platter, the benefit of the increasing retirement ages, the increase in property values etc etc are forced to bugger off. We certainly wouldn't miss you.
Such a shame you don't recognize that those you claim aren't ready are the one grabbing you by the collar and dragging you through the day....maybe they should stop. Sadly, by the time you realize it's time to go, others memories of a once great career are tainted by the bitterness of having to carry you every shift, and before you know it, your name is under every stick shaker cap in the airline.
