U.S. Now Allows Pilots to Fly 'til 65

Bush just signed the bill allowing U.S. pilots to now work until they turn 65, as opposed to mandatory retirement at 60.

The new retirement age is on par with the rest of the world.

Now, the best and most experienced U.S. pilots will no longer have to fly for foreign carriers.

Unfortunately, pilots between 60-65 who have already retired, will be allowed to fly for U.S. airlines again - but they will not regain their seniority.

This makes it doubtful that they will leave the foreign carriers they currently work for.
