Bob Hoover to the FAA: The Fight’s Not Over

The age 60 retirement ruling did not come about out of the need to improve public safety. It was implemented by the FAA in the late fifties in what seems to be a back room old boys club deal
between the newly appointed Director of the FAA and American Airlines CEO who wanted a Federal law to overturn a mediator's decision after a pilot's strike .
When the Director retired from the FAA, he was appointed to American Airlines board of directors
Pure coincidence
