AGE 65 now LAW!!!

ALPA surveyed its members: a minority particapted. A majority of the minority wanted the change.

Hold on, let's not re-write history too quickly. A majority of the minority (of total ALPA members) that voted did NOT want the change. That happened three times.

I'm not going to discount your frustration with members and you're correct appraisal of the apathy. However, I think we can drop the idea of going back to drawing board and starting with a clean slate. I want to see some out of the box thinking and a plan that patterns the exact method APAAD did this. We need to work inside the system, sure. But we have to get outside the system as well.

BUCK FUSH!!!!!!!!!

and all you other pieces of feces who supported this. I, along with my plenty of others appreciate getting effed out of a lot of money. :angryfire

I supported this. I am a 2 year F/O who has been furloughed and will need these extra years to repair lots o damage. I may not make Capt right away and score all the hot F/As but it will be helpful in cushioning the blow of the last 4 years.

Just an aside...I have never seen so many crybaby little girly men in one thread in a long time. Congratulations...

Funny as it may be, there will be changes forthcoming at ALPA. I have always been "involved" but I will be more involved now and a great deal of that effort will be to reduce my support for ALPA and remove those currently in office. There will be a backlash. It may take time but it will happen. Tom. I will go to work without my ALPA pin and lanyard........for the first time in 8 yrs.

That'll fix 'em.

Glad you see it my way.

Do you renounce your US citizenship and take down your flag everytime the US gov't doesn't do it your way...

Maybe someone will come up to you and say no ALPA pin in 8 years huh? and you can let him have it...

I believe any law signed goes into effect 30 days from date of signing...

Could be wrong, my memory of civics is a bit weak on the implementation side, I'm sure someone will correct me.

From Wikipedia:

A bill is "enacted" on the same day it is signed by the President. The "effective date," however is written into the text of the bill. Some bill are effective immediately and some Congress picks a later date - could be 2 months or a year or more.

Agreed!

The President signed HR 4343. Evidently he decided that one more day of pilots
getting hosed was one day too many.

It's over. The age of our retirement is now 65.

Does Bush even know what an airplane or n airline pilot is?

 

[Flopgut]

Agreed!

That's cool!

It's not like we don't have plenty of time now.....
