Lindsey Graham: Raise Mandatory Commercial Pilot Retirement Age to 67
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Monday he is proposing
legislation that would raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement
age to 67 from 65.
Graham's proposal would require pilots over the age of 65 to maintain
a first-class medical certification, which must be renewed every six
months.
The proposal comes as many regional airlines have said they face significant pilot shortages.
