Mission Statement for Let Experienced Pilots Fly
Let Experienced Pilots Fly is committed to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of
the aviation industry by advocating for raising the mandatory retirement age for FAR Part 121
airline pilots. We believe that experienced pilots are the cornerstone of our aviation industry,
combining their expertise and mentorship to uphold the highest level of safety in our flight decks.
Our mission is to promote policies that recognize the value of seasoned professional pilots and
ensure that retirement is based on technical performance and medical standards rather than an
arbitrary age, and ensure that any retired pilots remain eligible for employment at any FAR 121
certificated carrier. Our sole mission is
to raise the age, or eliminate the age requirement completely.
