With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. Abraham Lincoln
What Undaunted is not telling everyone here is that he pocketed more than $500K (probably MUCH more; I haven't checked on the details) in stock and bonds as compensation for the loss of his pension. He's already received a lot of dough.

Sorry, but what Andy writes is not correct. I do wish it were true but that's not the case for me. But either way what we are talking about here is ending discrimination: Age discrimination and discrimination against Americans.
That is the only topic of discussion for consideration. Should discrimination such as the age 60 rule be ended now or later when you're 59? That is the only question. And then if it's when you're 59, should it only for those who are destitute to fly past 60? Money has nothing to do with the principle of whether discrimination should be ended, but it is a driving force.
So should this discrimination be ended now or when you're 59.

You mean you don't see this a discrimination against Americans? What is it then when all the airlines in the world can fly here but not Americans? Even a redneck truck driver with a gun rack in the cab can understand this.

It won't take me very long to dig up a near exact number of stock shares and cash from the bond sales for you.
You made this issue all about the money long ago when you said that if you hadn't lost your pension, you'd retire. And let's not forget your little plea in the newspaper claiming that you don't know how you'll send your son to college.

Nah, we see it as you disguising it as "discrimination" when it's really all about the money and your ego.
Again, why is 65 not discrimination but 60 is? Why is it okay to "discriminate" against fellow Americans with such medieval rules like the minimum ages of 17 for the PVT ticket, 18 for Commercial, 23 for ATP; how about the maximum age 30 to hire on as ATC or for an Air Force pilot slot? How about the minimum drinking age, or the minimum age to vote??? Are you gonna whine and complain about how your fellow Americans are so "discriminated" against with these archaic, silly rules?
Oh, wait... no, you won't do that because you don't really give a crap about them. It's all about you and your wallet. And your ego. Quit hiding behind your bullsh!t "discrimination" label and call it what it is; money.
Should discrimination such as the age 60 rule be ended now or later when you're 59? That is the only question? I ask this because we all know and agree, it think, that the law will change sometime. So why wait until you're so lucky? Why not me? Why can't the current group of age 59's get lucky one time? Or is it only you that deserves the luck? Is this now going to be a discussion of who has the hardest luck story?
To Andy: Sure its about economics to an individual, but it's about discrimination against Americnas to others such as the public. This change changes everything and that is why the rule will come into harmony with ICAO very soon. And regarding the money I received from the termination of the A plan, that only represents a small portion of what the A plan should have paid out over a lifetime of retirement. I would certainly take the A plan any day. But as I say, the issue as a whole is not longer about money, that is only for the individual and their decision to retire at 60 or not.
