Contries to fly up to 65 yo? Which ones?
Hey everyone.
JAROPS allows some of us, those interested, to fly up to 65yo. I am just wondering how many of those countries in europe allow that.
So IŽd like to hear from you all... in your country what is the maximum age you can fly... as a pro pilot?
Regards

I think most EU countries allow you to fly until 65, the
only exceptions I can think of are France,hmm, and Italy.
They will both be forced to change in the next few years as new age laws come into force.

Had an American freighter crew come through Sydney a few years ago and I remember looking at their flight engineer and thinking, this one's got a bit of mileage on him. After the briefing I had a look at the gen dec and I swear to God he was 74 years old.
Reminds me of the old joke:
Q. Charlie is 70 years old. How come he is still flying ?
A. 3 ex wives is why.....
Ho hum

It is intended to apply EU law on 'age discrimation'on 31 October 2006. At BA this law will enable all crew to remain until 60 and beyond with the provision of passing annual medicals. So I suppose in years to come you will start seeing a lot older crews. However, this act does not effect employees that are contracted to retire at 55 or 60 but gives them the option to work on. This applies to employees in all walks of life and seeing the pension fiasco continue it just as well for many.

Austria allows 65 (as long as the copilot is younger than 60).
Italy and France prohibit overflight, all other countries allow it.
I doubt that any existing Austrian company would hire a 60-year-old except at very bad conditions.

No age limit in Australia due discrimination laws. Qantas has numerous over 60's on the 737, 767 and A330. Due to overflight problems no over 60 on 747 or 747-400 [except as F/Os]
No new over 57's allowed on A330 due soon to be overflights as the bus goes international.
Six month medicals with stress ECGs on bike though!
