Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Maintaining the highest pilot training and qualification standards has been critical to establishing the U.S. as the global leader in aviation safety. ALPA applauds the [Congressional] leadership and tireless advocacy of Senators Schumer, Cantwell and Duckworth in the fight to hold the line against those who would lower the bar on pilot training. Unfortunately, there are now those who seek to introduce new risks into the aviation system, upend airline flight operations and increase ticket costs, while undermining the rights of American workers and their collective bargaining agreements. Raising the retirement age is not only a solution in search of a problem, it is a proposal that has not been thought out, studied or vetted by aviation safety experts – those upon whom we all rely to keep flying safe.  Congress should reject this ill-conceived proposal.”

Source: From a statement supplementing a letter to leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives. The letter supports a proposed amendment to the pending FAA Reauthorization Bill. Subject amendment seeks to maintain 65-years as the compulsory retirement age for Part 121 pilots. In the letter’s contents, ALPA president Captain Jason Ambrosi made the aforementioned statement.
