Age 60 informal poll

[Regul8r]

WOW! All this vitriol being spewn about by the anti-65 crowd...sounds like you guys THOUGHT you were entitled to something.

 

[mdanno808]

The anti 65 crowd thought that they were entitled to the same career progression that the pro 65 ers enjoyed.

was dead for year, till Andy dug it up

Uh, no. I didn't 'dig it up.' My post is dated 05-03-2007 with no edits. Post #1501 in this thread.
The NEXT post is yours, dated 07-07-2008.

Someone VOTED in the poll, resurrecting it from the dead. And instead of letting this thread die again, YOU chose to reply to my year-old post. Nice work, Pilotyip. You owe this forum an apology for breathing life into this acrimonious thread. I'll pass on the apology that you owe me for your libelous statement.

This is my first post on this thread since 05-03-2007. This horse is already on the shelves in Walmart in the school supplies section.
The poll should be locked along with the thread.

Seriously, are you drunk? Your post is completely incoherent.
You posted at noon Central time; while it may be happy hour somewhere, it is far too early in the day to be drunk. Get some help.

 

[pilotyip]

It is always happy hour

At the "Wedge" it is always happy hour, but you would never go there. I hear people without college degrees hang out there. They smoke too, some of them even work at Willow Run. BTW is there 10 steps going down as well as going up? Oh I forgot drinking it now politically incorrect for Air Force people. Me and much of my Navy buddies are going to the club tonight, there even be some ex-enlisted there

And the "I got mine" crowd wins again. Screw the rest of the industry as long as you get yours. Congratulations, one more way the "me" generation has left its mark on those that followed.

Don't loose any sleep over it ivauir...soon enough, you'll be plugging for the age-70 rule, so you can stick it to the next guy...it all evens out!

Move on folks, move on...

I'll give you credit...you accept being part of an entitled group

To be more correct: The pro 65 crowd decided they were entitled to the same career progression scabs enjoyed.

Moved on. Put you on my scab list as I did.

We all think we're entitled to something. The old guys think they're entitled to another 5 years at the top of the game. The young guys think they're entitled to the old guys seat. Give it a rest with the cane shaking gramps.

Everyone in this so called union believe they are entitled to something regardless of how it affects the others.....Can we move past this silly notion of a "brotherhood"?

It looks like the age-65 rule is working very well doesn't it.

 

[whymeworry?]

Age-65 guys should be the first to get furloughed.

 

[Flopgut]

It looks like the age-65 rule is working very well doesn't it.

It's working as well for a majority of us still flying as it did for guys like you who missed the cut.

Were the immediate affects of this rule not a foregone conclusion?

How is your lawsuit going?

 

[Flopgut]

Just to verbalize a concern:

Age 65 is failed no less than 60 was. You won't hear the complaining right now because fools soaking up the immediate windfall are happy for the moment. We don't retire at 65 folks. You don't make your plan based on 65. You fix your plan on age 63.5 or so. You have to figure out what you're going to bid equipment wise so you know your pay or pay protection. If you don't have it figured in your last 12 months you've screwed yourself. With all the recent retirement account losses I'm too sure there are guys/gals flying past 60 who aren't going to be ready. I'm seeing a lot old pilots strut around like everything is OK not talking about other retirement issues. I don't think they've got a plan; I hope they don't think they'll get another age increase.

Don't burden us any more people! Get yourselves ready to retire.

National strike of the pilots in France from November 14th to 17th
French airline pilots´ unions have unanimously called a four-day strike from Friday 14 November at one minute past midnight to Monday 17 November at midnight, to protest against changes to the retirement age currently under discussion in the French Parliament (changing from 60 to 65)
Air France is expecting very severe disruptions to its operations and apologizes to passengers in advance for this highly regrettable situation.

What a bunch of lazy-a$$ Frogs. What's wrong with working like the rest of the world. This figures though, remember the Frogs take 2-3 hour lunch breaks and nothing gets done all day. They are all part of the “Wine Tasting” crowd.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The French pilots are doing what we should have done.

The Europeans can't afford the retirement benefits they have....We would be smart to learn from their mistakes.....

Retirement at 60 works fine if you only live to 65.....Financially it doesn't work if you live to 85+.....The math doesn't add up.....
