"....why did you retire?"
Not a choice, Larry.
Airline pilots are "force" retired in accordance with the "age 60 rule"
originated in 1957 and contained within
appropriate sections of Federal Air Regulations.
In spring of 2001, the House passed a bill that would have upped this to age
65.
**********************************
Gee whiz, Cap'n, if they let them fly to age 65, the Northworst pilots would
have to mix their drinks with Geritol.
