By Mr. Sable:

Q. At the time that Eastern's policy went into effect, you said in 1945 or '46 --

A. 1945 or '46.

Q. Requiring that all pilots must fly the line one month out of three or one month out of four, was there any rule at that time or subsequent thereto, prohibiting pilots from flying the line if they were beyond the age of sixty?

A. There was not, at that time, no.

Q. Up until approximately 1960, when the Quesada Rule was handed down, did you, in fact, have pilots up to the age of sixty-five? (T. 145)

A. We had some over sixty, sir, but I couldn't tell you exactly whether we had any. I am sure that we had none that reached sixty-five, because we had a company rule at that time, that at sixty-five a man retired, but did have some over sixty.

Mr. Sable: I have no further questions. (T. 146)
