Excellent. Say it again, only louder. You and PCL-128 "Greedy Bastards" go together.

This has to be the funniest thing I've ever read on here. I LOVE IT!! Who in the hell would want to work for AMR anyway? 15 year upgrade and barely making $100k??? not my cup of tea..........
However, this just allowed YOU to work an extra 5 years at the top of the payscale too! But, I do agree with the "selfish bastards" comment!
They preach how we are all "brothers" but will be the first people to stick a shank in your back when you are not looking.
He is just so typical of the Alpa types out there. They preach how we are all "brothers" but will be the first people to stick a shank in your back when you are not looking.
65 was coming no matter what... might as well get it over with.
Exactly.
On a positive side this change will get you to medicare without having to pay out of pocket for you and your family.
It is good also to take care of the folks that have lost everything and taken a 50% paycut. I had a UAL 747 Capt on the jumpseat to ORD the other day and was saddened listeneing to his story. Seriously, the guy has lost his pension and taken a 40/50% paycut. His kids are starting college, his wife has played housewife for 20 yrs so she can't work leaving him as the sole bread winner for the household. We have a responsibility as a pilot group to not leave the senior guys out on the street cold and hungry.
Just my thoughts.

Hey, I've heard/read from a couple of different sources, that Bush plans to veto this bill...not necessarilly for the age 65 rule, but because it is an addtional spending bill that he disagrees with. Now, I understand that it was passed with enough votes to overrule a veto, but if vetoed, it still has to go back for a vote(through both chambers?), and then overrule a veto at that point? Am I off on what I learned in civics class?
I know that the votes exist to ovverrule the veto, understood...but, any of you big brained smart guys out there have any understanding of the process to go ahead and overrule that veto? Anyone have information on likelihood of a veto? Anyone have a bottle of courvosier for good ole' Leon?
Heck, I know that even a few months means more retirements...how are you folks at FedEx/UPS on this one? I bet a lot of our older friends went to the engineer panel to ride this storm out...are there a lot of folks hanging on the panel so that they can remove that tape off their fourth stripes(true story I've heard about at least one guy) and become in charge again? Best of luck to ya...
