Default Age 65 Rule

What does everybody think about the age 65 rule in the 91/135 field of operation?. I understand (if correct) that this may slow the hiring trends of the 121 carriers. Does anybody think that the rule will have a backlash into the corporate/fractional sector? Perhaps those who were jumping ship from 121 carriers to fly a few more years (if there were any) will no longer do so?

I know some pilots who did change plans because of the rule. There will be a few less retiring airline pilots going in, but I think that will be cancelled out by a small decrease in regional hiring. So, a few less high time people entering and a few more low.

It doesn't. However, with the age 65 rule in place, fewer grizzly old airline Captains will be applying to the Corporate operators. That means more opportunities for young guys to get a corporate gig.

The corporate career path is pretty attractive given the state of the airline industry right now.

Well there will be fewer for the next 5 years at least.

Very true. However, I think the number of 65 year old guys who want to start at the bottom of the corporate ladder is pretty limited.
