I thought FAA regs were that you could not fly commercial flights after the age of 60. Isn't that what he was doing flying commercial flights?

So he sues the corporation who is probably in debt and he can have the indebted planes and try to make a go of it himself.
In other words, that is why there is corporations in business and why corps often leave themselves officially broke at times.
This guy will be lucky to see any money.

Any 64 year old pilot is going to have millions of air miles under his belt and certification for every aircraft flying.

When my brother was in the Canadian Airforce the smart pilots did transport duty because they could rack up huge flight time doing milk runs.

After ten years they went straight to commercial aviation and got hired on the spot.

The top guns were left with pensions and a few memories.

Hi TresFix...

In reference to your question regarding age criteria set by the FAA, the pilot is not a commercial pilot. He operates under regulations set by the FAA for Private/Business Aviation. True at the age of 60 a commercial pilot must retire, however under regulations set forth by FAA under private/business aviation, he/she is qualified to fly as long as they pass their medical and recurrent/simulator training every 6 months...
