As an airline pilot, with the advent of more proficient screening and medicals it seems only sensible to increase the age a pilot is allowed to fly until beyond the arbitrary age of 65.

You can fly in Australia after 65, why not in the Northern Hemisphere?

By law/regulations, from 60 years old, a pilot must undergo a medical exam once every…6 months; two « over 60 » pilots may not operate together on the flight deck. The risk of problems/incidents/accidents becomes too big and at 65 = danger/critical zone which, for everybody’s safety & pilot’s health, imposes you to stop you doing your work.
Respect these facts and synchronise Belgian law with (carefully elaborated) aeronautical regulations!

I am since 2 years retired in the old system but i am working for the Flemish government. It is however very penalizing that i can not work full time as my maximum salary is limited. It would be nice if this limititation could be cancelled so people are allowed to work as much as they want. Could you mention this as well to the Minister? Thanks!

Pilots should be able to work up to the National retirement age should they so wish. There is no problem once they can pass their medical and check rides like any age pilot. Arguably a 67 year old pilot in the cockpit with years of experience is safer than a 25 year old pilot with relatively little experience in comparison.

Retirement age for commercial pilots will have to be raised to the age of 67! We’re entitled to get treated the same like everybody else.

We have the same here in Holland with Transavia.
Dit moet aangepast worden naar 65!
