Who would legacies rather hire? Frontier pilots or regional/cfi/135 pilots? Even if age 67 cut hiring in half for a year or 2 I don’t think it would change the amount of Frontier guys being able to get hired.

All he needs is attrition to get cut by half. Still a lot of pilots leaving but it buys him 2 years of rock bottom wages. China will invade Taiwan about that time and he’s golden for 3 more years. The dude lives for the long game. Literally, too.

This guy over here’s. Wicked smaaaat. Stock advice, real estate, vaccinations, and blackjack hands. I know I’m always getting good recommendations about these things when I talk to a pilot. Pilots are brilliant like doctors and astronauts. Not idiots like garbage men and Uber drivers.

We’ll still have rock bottom wages for 2 plus years though you’re right about that.

I spent 5+ glorious years flying a turbo prop for poverty wages waiting for the retirements to start again.
IF age 67 happens, we will see results

Huh? I’m simply disagreeing with you. If age 60-65 is any indication then yes, legacy hiring will indeed slow down which will cut, I predict, our attrition by half, even if we are the preferred source of pilots for the legacies. Legacies have already cleaned house with pilots who wanted to leave early. I bet 90%+ who didn’t take the early out will continue to age 67.

The difference this time is that we would be the only country with 67, so now those 64 yr olds will get kicked off of their widebody as most of them are on one. Sure they’ll almost certainly get paid the widebody rate to fly narrowbody…though something each property will have to negotiate if they haven’t already. But their day to day flying will significantly change and they would have to go back to training. Several likely wont want to deal with it.
Will it have an impact, yes. Though probably not very significant.
