Pilot Pension Belgium

Due to the health issues involved with flying, the legal retirement age for pilots and cabin crew should be lowered, as it used to be the case in Belgium (which was covered by higher social security contributions). On the other hand, the EASA limit of 65 should be increased, so that those who are still fit can continue to fly beyond the retirement age, if they want to.

Totally agree and support this call.

I support the petition

Raising the retirement age without considering the unique physiological and psychological demands of aviation places an undue burden on pilots. This not only compromises safety but also introduces additional mental, physical, and financial strain on professionals expected to operate in an already high-stakes environment.

EU law is the norm, a country law may be MORE restrictive, but can not be more liberal

67 its top old for a Pilot

Pilots should be able to work as long as they hold a valid medical. The same as any other employee in all other sectors may do! We don’t force doctors to retire!

The risks increase with age. At the same time there's a considerable amount of people who are still fit beyond age 65. Basically it should be determined individually and no penalty for "early retirement" should be applied if not found fit at age 65 (or any age beyond 50 or 55. Just thinking out loud since most loss of license insurances decease in coverage once the age of 50 is passed).

UK pilot discriminated against in the same way.

B767 licensed pilot under EASA and FAA, born 11/1960 and healthier than most of my younger fellow aviators

100% behind this initiative as this will set the tone for the rest of Europe. Good luck

Same situation in Sweden.

Even earlier pension as previous.. fatigue 'eist z'n tol'

You are right!

I am a 62 year old professional pilot myself with Netjets Europa and many countries around the world are raising the age limit to 67 (or no limit at all). Retirement and social security payout differ by 2 year. Ridiculous old fashioned law come on EASA act to keep us healthy and safely flying when passing the required Class I medical

Thanks for what you do for us!

Born 1971

The same applies to Germany

I totally support this initiative

Extend the right of work till 67 but keep the possibility to choose…
