1261 days to go!

[Flopgut]

How about the "Undaunted Ticker?"

Love it!

The day will come, can't be stopped. What I'm going to enjoy the most: We'll be right back to where we were just before it changed to 65. Prater will write another article about "the FO who get's it", there will be handwringing and teary eyed, frail pilots who will beg and plead for more relief. There won't be an ounce of regard for them. And there won't be any jobs either! 65 is officially too old.

How about the "Greed Grapher"? That way it works for both opinions.

Brown----ignore. Great, got that out of the way.

I fear the debate isn't over. I think it was Air Transport Weekly, but some idiot wrote in whining about being forced to retire, and how the Age 65 rule wasn't fair either.

This was in my mind when guys were decrying Age 60 as an "arbitrary number". How is 65 any different?

I sincerely hope these guys call it a day and a career at 65.

And some agency over in Europe is looking at seventy so.....don't be surprised

A friendly reminder to those working towards retirement, on furlough, getting off reserve, getting hired, and negotiating contracts. 1261 days until mandatory retirement becomes effective again!

Timely post....I have the "Statement of Intent" in hand to go back active duty for another 4 years. That should just about eat that 1261 up!

Just flew with a guy who is 61. Full NAVY Pension, and has 20+ years at UAL, not ONE ounce of care about the 100's soon to be 1000's we have on Furlough!

THEY DON'T CARE! PIGS TO THE TROUGH!

OINK OINK OINK!

It's there legal right. Get over it.

It's there legal right. Get over it.

:laugh::laugh:
Where is that legal right, over there? Or is it their legal right?
I can't figure it out!

I'm 20+ years till 65 and I'm all for it. It'll easily be an extra $2 MILLION in pay for what will be essentially a part time job! Bottom line is it's easy money for working less than half of the extra 5 years.

As long as it gives you a "FARE chance to Susceed."

YOU IDIOT.

Bye Bye--General Lee

No Country For Old Men...GET THE F UCK OUT OF MY SEAT!

Wow. The sense of entitlement out of you jackasses is amazing. "Hurry up and quit so I can have your job." Are you listening to what you're saying? If you're so worried about the guys behind you on the street, why don't you quit? For that matter, when you hit 60 you better damn sure retire after statements like that.

Guys at age 60-65 that have any seniority right now are dealing with lost pensions that were promised to them, that they invested into, and were depending on. Mostly lost by poor management, coupled with making as little as 40% of what they were 8-10 years ago. Before you could probably do more than occupy space and MAYBE sling the gear. 65 for them, means a few more years to recoup some loss. 65 for you mean another 5 years to fatten your retirement. For fvcks sake get over it already.

1261 more days of surfing, working at the ski area, and hitting on women with good jobs.

 

[Smarta$$]

You want to see us get screwed even worse? Imagine if they repeal 65 a couple years from now. Ouch.

So the rest of the industry (YOUNGER pilots) have to pay for this misfortune? Get off your 55-62 year old high-horse and realize there's good reason for people to be pissed!

I agree with an earlier post, if they did it right, it would've been somehow grandfathered-in. Overnight 60-65 screwed thousands and thousands! Shouldn't have been done at all!

 

[BSkin]

Not to say it doesn't suck for all those guys that thought they had it all and lost most!

How exactly are you paying for it? As near as I can tell, you've got another 5 years you get to work, with which to make MORE money. Plus you won't be spending those five years trying to recoup your nest egg.

And my high horse is only 30. I actually left the 121 world to go Mil.

Oh, Go Gators!

 

[PCL_128]

Did it ever occur to you that many of us don't want to work that extra five years, but now we have to if we want to get the same number of years in the left seat that we would have gotten if the retirement age hadn't changed?

I left mil to go 121, at times I wish I hadn't. If your 30, and was still in this 121 $hithole as it is right now, you'd understand. 5 years of expected retiring gone thus, hardly any upgrades (regionals aside) and people getting furloughed who wouldn't have been with age 60. That is the point. Many people are happy about 65, many,many more are unhappy! If you have a good gig in the MIL, stay, stay, stay!

...or come to the 121 world and then brag about how you're immediately going out on Mil Leave and hence avoiding all the worst years as a junior F/O!
