NetJets has elected to adopt an age-70 limit for its fractional-share (Part 91K) pilots and has removed these older crewmembers from its schedule, according to a note from the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) legal department. The move affects fewer than 100 pilots, and they were no longer on the NetJets schedule as of January 10, according to a lawsuit filed by a group of pilots seeking to overturn the age cap.

NetJets gave notice to its pilots and NJASAP on Jan. 10, 2023, that it intended to implement the age-70 limit. That notification came after Congress’ omnibus spending bill was adopted in December 2022.
