Age 60 informal poll

[Phaedrus]

FYI, I've changed my plans to move my last January flight up 1 day to FLT 1 on January 26th just in case I don't make the cut.

Who says Undaunted didn't plan ahead? Good move UF.

Undaunted

Look it up...it means "not faltering or hesitating because of fear or discouragement, undismayed."

That's good. Undaunted really is undaunted...but soon will be undaunted driver...no longer undaunted flyer. Thank God for that.

On the motorcycle boards, I'm UndauntedTraveler.

For the people who read quickly, one of the comments listed above is from

an American Airlines captain who is an APA member. The way you have it listed it implies the whole group. APA and a majority of it's members are against raising the 60.

About a week old.

HOW OLD are these videos?

The first one was broadcast on 11/22/06. The second was broadcast in May, '06.

Has anyone seen the USA Today Feature Editorial on the age 60 issue in today's paper? (Page 17A) Very well done.

This editorial represents the opinion of the America's newspaper. USA today has the largest circulation of any newspaper.

USA Yesterday barely qualifies as a mullet wrapper. If you're hangin' your hat on that, you're hurtin'.
