We think alike so you don't have to be a tool.

Let's you and I keep our house in order and get out of the way (on time at 60) so the next generation can recoop some of their loss!

BTW Burger my bro - it's still 980

No we are not alike. I don't call people names that I disagree with.
And by the way. Who do you think? Cares with you think.
 
Thanks.

I don't know how far back you dug to find that little gem but I still feel the same way. I didn't want the rule to change. It did nothing but take money out of my pocket and I fly airplanes for money! Every FO that I fly with had his pocket picked too!

Everybody on property when the rule changed should have been grandfathered to retire at 60. Kind of like a stupid tax. I wonder how hard ALPA and SWAPA would have pushed for it then.

Your understanding of the issue is flawed. The FAA was going to pass Age 65 to be inline with ICAO whether any unions participated in the process or not. While I do not know about SWAPA, I know ALPA chose to actively participate in the process in order to mitigate its effects on the membership. It wasn't a popular choice, but it was much better than another union's choice to sit outside and toss rocks with ZERO input into the process.

Why pilots continue to blame their own unions for this action when it was our own government which pushed it is beyond me.
