Default Good news for pilots - retirement age

In article .com,
says...


But again, contrary to your subject line, *NOT* good for pilots (with
the possible exception of the few who are actually 59.5). Allowing
pilots to fly longer WILL NOT create more jobs.



Really quite the socialist view, yours.
You would be right in step in Europe - you should propose a new law that
would not allow airline pilots to log more than 20h a month - double the
airline's operating costs and see how many new jobs you create. With thinking
like that you could have a political career in France!

I was referring to enhancement of the lives and careers of pilots - I think
if you ask practicing pilots, even young ones, most would feel that the 60 rule
is unwelcome.
