No recent press released on the FAA web site. But hey... CNN may know something the FAA doesn't.

How about age 60 to 65 in southeast Asia?

Which SE Asian airlines can a captain fly for over age 60 ?

Say you were an expat captain in Asia and your contract dried up when you were 60 or 61 . . .

Which southeast Asian airline(s) could you go to?

Many have age restrictions.

It would hurt to plan on flying to 65 and then get locked out of the last 4 or 5 years of pay you counted on.

China won't hire expats over 55.

I think I'll file a discrimination law suit against China. ;)

Cathay Pacific and Dragonair are age 65.

Just a personal opinion but I think in the next 10 to 15 years, you will see at least age 67 in the Asia region. In Australia there is no retirement age (due to that being a discrimination factor) so long as you can hold a valid medical. In fact the oldest B-737 Captain in the world flies for a freight company in Australia.

Yeah Japan is 65... Speaking to the Director on the train Friday and he said JCAB is considering 67... The Japanese just love to work...
