Default Age 60 legislation is alive and moving forward

Just heard today, this time it is being forced through quickly with the 104 rule attached.

I think that means we get to work until we are 104 years old or die in the harness like White Fang.

Forced through? The difference this time is that foreign pilots are operating in U.S. airspace TODAY over age 60. The driver here is the basic unfairness that U.S. pilots are being denied the privileges of operating in U.S. airspace while foreign pilots are allowed to.

Americans (even politicians) won't stand for that kind of inequity.

Plenty of US pilots over 60 operating in US airspace every day. Just not for 121 carriers.

But yeah, it sure is fair for all of the furloughed guys to have to sit another 5 years so the 37 year Captains at United don't have to go on the welfare rolls.

The only kind of inequity politicians won't stand for is that which limits their reelection funding. The big money says no, and so will they.
It has nothing to do with what's fair for pilots or not, it has nothing to do with health or safety. That's life.

Guess they'll have to end all those other "unfair" Government mandated ages as well, ( ATC retirement age, applying for an ATP at 23 ect....).

Hell its only fair..............
