Seeking remuneration for pilots that were, or will be, forced to retire as a consequence of the FAA Age 60 Rule.FAR 121.383, the Age 60 Rule, forces Airline Pilots to no longer use their licenses to operate an aircraft in Part 121 operations after their 60th birthday. Until a few years ago a majority of airline pilots may have enjoyed lucrative pension plans that favored retirement on their 60th birthday. That changed following Chapter 11 proceedings at some airlines. Now the majority must rely upon Defined Contribution retirement savings accounts to replace lost pension income. Many of these pilots, near or past retirement age of 60, desperately need additional years of income to bolster retirement savings, and work until they can receive the maximum PBGC and Social Security incomes. This Class Action is intended to eliminate an unsupported age rule, and to seek some compensation to qualified airline pilots that have demonstrated a desire to fly beyond the Age 60 Rule limits, however the Class will include all pilots that meet Class criteria. Named Plaintiffs will bear the cost of the suit however, they stand to receive a greater portion of any awards. You may apply as a Named Plaintiff either online using PayPal to pay your initial payment, or download a .pdf application, cover letter, and Attorney Agreement forms and mail them in, as instructed, along with a check. The application process is not completed until the initial payment of $250, and the signed copy of the acceptance page for the Agreement is received. Depending on the number of Named Plaintiffs we’re able to acquire, there will be additional quarterly assessments over the life of the Class Action to cover the costs of litigation. Your investment has the potential for a substantial return. The FAA has succeeded in the past because court challenges to the Age 60 Rule were via the petition-for-exemption process that poses insurmountable obstacles for the plaintiffs. The Class Action will challenge the FAA Age 60 Rule on the Constitutional grounds of equal protection under the law, outside the petition process. There is ample evidence that the Age 60 Rule was never intended as a safety regulation and has remained unsupportable throughout its life. We don’t want the CAP to jeopardize parallel efforts with Congressional legislation and the FAA NPRM to comply with the recent change to the ICAO age limits which now permit the international PIC to fly into US airspace until their 65th birthday. I ask that you exercise discretion when discussing the CAP effort so that it does not aid those that might want the legislative efforts to fail or be delayed. The congressional route aims to help airline pilots still under age 60, while the Class Action Project addresses the grievances of all qualified pilots regardless of age. We must work together to achieve a successful outcome for all involved. I’m open to your suggestions and questions. I’ll do my best to keep you abreast of information as it comes available. Respectfully, Mickey Oksner |
