Nobody knows for sure if the rule will change. Right now its speculation.

But it really does not matter what you think, the rule will change. BTW, you have to get the job first in order to get the chance to work until the day before you die.

Chief.....I have a job

I'm not so sure about that. ALPA probably unknowingly did us a favor by making this an online poll. Half the old guys I fly with have a hard time checking their email or pulling weather. Some still refuse to do an online expense report favoring the 'good ole paper method'. Lets hope that the 50% are the computer savvy young' uns. Although I believe ALPA made up their mind on this before even announcing this poll.

Isn't that the truth. Or my favorite, "Oh, I don't trust that FMS".

Fly, not program

However, the old guys can probably fly an airplane, as opposed to program it. True story, hired a glass cockpit/FMS pilot. Heck of a problem in the sim, when quizzed after his first session he stated "I have not hand flown an approach in three years while I was at ABC Air". Give me a pilot who has been single pilot flying a sewer tube, no AP, no FD, no nothing. That guy can fly just like the older pilots.
