"Isn't that why he retired?"
ROTFLMAO!!
Retirement wasn't my idea and in
any case....
...in order to understand "today", you've gotta be able to understand
"yesterday". You can get as automated
as you damn well please; in the end it
comes down to educated "hands on" & "stick & rudder".
The current mandatory US airline pilot retirement age is (by Federal
Law), 60.
Prior to "Osama day", the House passed
a bill that would have returned it to the
prior 65. On 9/25/01, the Senate was to
hold hearings on their version (age 63)
of a revised US airline pilot retirement
age bill, while taking the House version
into consideration.
The rest is recent history. Them's the
breaks!! Welcome to reality! :)
