i find it ironic that its a swa guy doing the big countdown when it was swa pilots who drove the age 65 thing in the first place.

Not all 6000 of us were behind the age 65 change. It's ON!

You don't have a fubijaakr what you're talking about. SWAPA didn't do sh!t until ALPA got onboard.

And YOU obviously cannot read for comprehension. Did I say anything about SWAPA? No.

It was a group of SOUTHWEST PILOTS who intiated the Age 65 petitions. PILOTS, not SWAPA.

You're a bit full of yourself after shafting the F9 guys aren't you?

The movement....- which effectively stopped after 9/11 - bc of outsourcing - and had only just begun to move again after that stagnation-.... will begin to move again.

There are studies that prove that working into old age will shorten your life. High stress jobs shorten your life even more.

Tom Brokaw calls them The Greatest Generation.

More like The Greediest Generation.

No- their parents were the greatest generation. They knew how to think and sacrifice. This one just takes and lives off of others work, over-valuing their own efforts.

Hi!

"No- their parents were the greatest generation. They knew how to think and sacrifice. This one just takes and lives off of others work, over-valuing their own efforts."

This type of comment has been repeated, literally, throughout ALL of human evolution. And, it is normal, as evolution is change, and as times change, different generations are affected differently. Most people, because of our biology, fear change, and so people generally view newer generations negatively, in many ways.

To embrace change, which is difficult, but will enhance our functioning on earth, we need to use our intellect to overrule our emotions, which is VERY, VERY DIFFICULT!

Please try.

Why should I have to go 5 more years to draw full retirement so some Fedex ex-mil ****************************** can pay his alimony(ies) and his gigantic Germantown house and harleys and show plane at OLV? Seriously, go five years, retire and die? No thanks, let this be a lesson if you get to that payscale to NOT live paycheck to paycheck at 200k/year...embarassing for those who do that. I'm assuming they went to the MC Hammer School of Finance and Money Management. Enjoy your five extra years grandpa, remember to get that prostrate exam.

 

[Remington]

MC Hammer and Mike Tyson were too legit to quit - SPENDING. Just like these old mo-fo's that sit in our seat.

They overall attitude of the old guys is: Loose your house, savings, security. We don't care. We're the baby-boom generation. We've always gotten ours and that ain't about to change. Suck it up kid (even though most of these "kids" are in their 30s and 40s).

Well, that's just it, their financial situation is far more important than your unemployment situation. Not all, but most guys I flew with at the end were pretty clueless about being furloughed. One guy even said, "great! now you can have time off to do what you really want!" I politely told him I would rather stay here gainfully employed.

That being said, what's done is done. We need to be vigilant of Age 70. These same guys aren't going to want to retire in 1211 days period. We're gonna hear the same excuses about pensions, age discrimination, 401k, I love flying etc.
