Senate Approves Changes to Age 60 Rule
Measure Raises Pilot Retirement Age to 65
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation issued the following statement upon full Senate approval of a bill that raises airline pilot retirement age from 60 to 65.
 
“I am pleased the U.S. Senate recognized the need to raise the pilot retirement age to 65. Forcing our nation’s pilots to retire at 60 is out-of-date and only succeeds in removing our most experienced pilots from our skies.”
