"Last week, the International Air Transport Association #IATA, which represents most of the world’s #airlines, formally petitioned #ICAO to change its recommended retirement age from 65 to 67 to alleviate a #pilot shortage." avbrief.com/battle-lines... #AVbrief #aviation #news
This decision seems to be quite intelligent / wise. I'm always amazed about decisions of some "institutions / technical authorities" 🙄
Especially the "justification" is interesting 🤔
My husband and I are retired Netjets pilots. He was forced to retire from Delta at age 60 but wasn’t able to continue because of regulations. At Netjets, as long as he could pass a first class medical every 6 months he was able to keep flying. He retired from Netjets at age 71. This only makes sense
