파일로트의 정년퇴임시기는?

 

58-year-old Paul Emens has been an airline pilot for 30 years. But time is running out 다되다, 끝나다 on the career he loves. Under current FAA 연방 항공국 rules, Emens must retire in less than two years at age 60, an age when most other Americans are still on the job. "If a person is healthy, if he's competent ~할 능력<역량>이 있는, then he should be able to work.”

 

Age 60 has been the pilots' limit since 1960, a time when 707's ruled the skies and the life expectancy 예상<평균> 여명 of men was 69 years. Now, the FAA says it agrees with Captain Emens, the retirement age should be raised to 65. "It's the right thing to do because the experience base of our older captains is really something we need to take advantage of."

 

Supporters point to the heroics 영웅적 행동 of United Airlines Captain Al Haynes Who, at age 57, miraculously piloted <비행기 등을> 조종하다 his badly crippled 손상된 jet to a fiery 불타는, 인화하기 쉬운 landing in Sioux City in 1989, saving more than half of the people on board. But just ten days ago, the 58-year-old pilot of this Continental jet died at the controls, forcing the co-pilot to land that plane.

 

Beyond health, there is an economic debate. Frustrated 욕구 불만의, 실망한 younger pilots like Warren Booth say their promotions 승진, 진급 will be blocked if more senior pilots hang on 붙잡고 늘어지다. "They'll get to sit there for another five years while I'm sitting there trying to get to the bigger airplanes." But it could take more than a year for the new age 65 limit to take effect 효력을 나타내다, 실시되다. So the oldest airline pilots, like Paul Emens, are still up in the air facing a fast-closing deadline 최종기한 that could ground <조종사를> 비행 금지시키다 them forever. Bob Orr, CBS News, Washington.
