It modifies the can too. If every pilot adds 5 years to their 30 year career then each individual is now 35/30 times more productive. Fewer individuals need to be hired. Hiring slows by 30/35 (14%) for all time. It's not just a one-time kick.

I am not working to 70. Most guys dont. The only reason most guys stayed past 60 is because of medical benefits. Medicare doesnt kick in until 65. If medicare was age 60 then you would see a lot more guys leaving prior to 65. Thats the facts. 70 is OLD

Lol Del Boca Vista, isn’t that where we all are now?
The big mouth with a view in the front of the plane, locked in a room where nice people bring us our meals, and help us to the bathroom after we ring a buzzer.

For a G2 CA each additional two months of pay equals about a year of medical benefits. So anyone staying after 60 yrs 10 months (+/-) is staying for the money since the money they’ve netted since they turned 60 should cover all the medical premiums until 65.

well, just goes to show you shouldnt trust a damn thing I say. Those greedy pilots. Seriously, I really dont see people staying past 65 but I have been wrong before about a lot of things

That's what some people said about age 65, that people wouldn't stay past 60... they did.
