I'm all for it. If they are healthy enough to pass a medical, then so be it.

Hope you like being a CFI for an extra 5 years or so...

Short sighted ....

How so?

I personally am not bound by the age 60 rule... BUT having guys stay in the seat 5 extra years will slow movement in ALL sectors of our field... Put your financial ducks in a row while you are young and you won't have to work past 60, regardless if you can or not...

I agree with my young Padawan Stan this time.

Saying that we should retire pilots just to make room for you is one of the most selfish things I've heard on this website, and I've heard some doozies.

No one says you can't retire earlier. It's an age limit, not a retirement limit. If a pilot has accumulated enough bollocks to retire earlier so be it. I retired at age 44.

Restricting someone from working based on their age is blatant DISCRIMINATION.
