If you mean An 60 like some kind of Russian transport, none of them at Comair.

As far as pilots over 60 years old, Comair has a half dozen or so.

Piedmont is going to have quite a few soon if we don't already. We have a lot of guys here that make Sully look like a spiked hair gel, Ipod wearing, backpack carrying, Riddle grad.

We have a few at SKW. A handful of the sim instructors came back to the line.

And only three more years until they're whining about flying until they're 70.

RETIRE ALREADY!

Interesting that the OP mentions PSA in the list of 60+ but not PDT. Even though PDT is exclusively in the turboprop biz, they're the US Airways wholly-owned with the longer corporate history. So PDT has a more senior pilot group over PSA, with more 60+ folks at the top of the seniority list.
