Thanks for that, I looked it up like you suggested, there is a waiting list as long as the M1 I would definitely be to old by the time they got round to me, I"ll stick to the trade plates for a while longer. ta.

There’s a guy on my section who’s 65. He’s just applied for an extension to his contract and I think they’ve allowed him another couple of years. He’s been in 4 years though.

Sos, Think you’ll find the age limit is 63 and a half, the age discrimination get out is that it takes so long to train and become competent (Not that we all are after much longer :cry: )

May get away with an RCC operator being a bit older as it’s a lot more sitting around :smiling_imp:

Jumping through hoops? That’s a bit extreme, what’s wrong with using a treadmill in the medical like everybody else, surely the HSE department don’t like that, mind you I suppose it was coned off & he was wearing a Hi-Viz :open_mouth: :laughing:
