I thought they didn't have commercial pilots that were older than 60. Seems like a silly rule.


777Tiger would like to have a word with you.

FYI .. The current FAA cutoff is 65.

When all you've got is an axe, everything looks like a parking arm

I have to admit... I've thought about that ( but I don't have an Ax). Scenario...you have been traveling..all the delays, layovers... work. You get back and you can't get out of the airport because the gate /ticket reader isn't working. And there is no apparent means to remedy this. You want to pay.. Because you just want to get home but either the machine won't read your ticket or take your money and there is no human to override the broken machine... I get it. Don't agree with the ax chopping but I get it.

That misdemeanor ain’t gonna keep him from being a pilot. Maybe not for United. Baw will still fly if he wants to. And hopefully never has to pay for another beer.

His hair is jet black at 63. I wonder if he uses the Grecian Formula.



probably, but my best friend, a United 777 Captain, is 64 and doesn't have any gray hair yet, and his dad was the same way, baw ain't losing his job over this, btw, he may have even helped remedy the problem that everyone else is pissed about

that's not my friend, btw

Anyone flying into Denver the last few months would have done the same. It’s a fricking disaster.


You should try the Budget Car Rental booth, when we flew into there in 2014 and tried to get our rental car it was an absolute shitshow. We ended up using Enterprise and that's whom I've used since.

while i understand his frustrations and have wanted to do it myself....i think i might want a pilot with just a tad more impulse control.
