Reply to Congress Asks ICAO to Increase Pilot Retirement Age
The rumors when I’m at my airline job is that they want to push it from 65 to 67 so a pretty small change. There’s precedent for it, in 2007 the age went from 60 to 65.

More KC-46’s
The ink is dry on a new lot of 15 KC-46’s. According to the article there’s 89 of them flying already and I know we’re seeing them in the AR track pretty regularly. It’s a great jet to take gas from and the 767 is a type rating you can’t beat. Just watch out for that stiff…
