The house and senate already passed a bill that changes the retiring age to 65 so just the Pres has to sign it now. After that goes through the Hiring rate will really slow down, 5 pilots in the US retire every day, thats 1825 a year. That means 1825 less pilots will be getting hired out of these schools each year for the next 5 years. Times are changing. |
