Is there a time limit for being a regional pilot?

Question

Hi everybody ,

I was wondering if when your a regional pilot you have to retire after 8 years? Or you can stay untill the legal retirment age, 65.

Answer 1

Age 65 rule.

Just to clarify for you, there is no regulatory difference at all between a regional airline and a major airline.  All airlines big and small must adhere to the exact same rules.

Answer 2

no.

65 is the age you HAVE to retire......that's any Airline pilot.

You can "retire" at any age but you may not get the full benefits.
