Well, that would be QUITE...and fortunately...correct. :-))))
It's why I asked the question.
Since I began paying attention to the issue of int'l pilot supply I've seen China slap an age 60 restriction on pilots resulting...from what I can observe from the Peanut Gallery...in an alleged "shortage" of experienced captains due to an employment age limit in the low to mid 50s (apparently owing to the end-stage age 60 limit...gotta get a few years out of the serfs & peasants). Experience can only be gained one hour and one year at a time.
Cutting off access to the 55+ demographic is just mindless bureaucratic constipation. Or, there's really no "shortage".
So, the article has missed the mark ? And nothing will change from the official age limit change in the final shakeout of the looming...and crippling...pilot shortage in China ?
Not picking a pprune purse fight...just trying to understand.
