Age 65 is Law the greedy.....

[Hamburger]

Waaa, Waaaaaaaaaa, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am a regional pilot aspiring to be a mainline pilot.

You should be crying, see you in six years..

New contracts will reflected age sixty-five, the only difference will be 5 more years of work. The total career earnings won't change a bit. Sad day. Can I do anything about it. NO. Just a new reality.

You didn't consider yourself grown up until you were 30?!

yes, but it was a different time, before the age of entitlement.

 

[Hamburger]

You mean the age when pilots reaped the benefits of those that retired before them but now feel entitled to take those same benefits from those after them?

No, you're probably referring to those who feel entitled to nothing more than the same opportunity the generation before them got instead of that generation stealing it from them.

Atleast I feel better about not having any sort of retirement. I'll be long dead before I run out of what little money I'll have saved up.

Someday when you're out of your 152 and actually flying something for a career, you might understand how big of a kick in the teeth you just took.

Already am. Nice shiny little jet. 65 rocks!

Air traffic Controllers have the life style. Optional retirement after 20 years of service, Full retirement after 30 years and mandantory at 56!
Maybe its time for a career change.

Goes into effect immediately. If you haven't yet turned 60 today, then your new age limit is 65. The greedy geezers have screwed us all over.

Yay! ALPA saved us once again. Their tireless work on behalf of the professional pilots of this country has once again given us a policy that the majority of it's pilot's support.

Truly, ALPA is a juggernaut.


(they did support this change, right? . . . . Wink wink . . .CAUTION: Bear poking in progress . . . )

In 30-35 years from now when we are getting ready to retire, we probably wont be flying anyway. All us pilots are going to be replaced by automated aircraft (airbus). There wont be a need for pilots anymore. Either that or we're (earth) gunna be running low on oil and gas will be so expensive that it'll make flying prohibitivly expensive.

I've been saying this for years and everyone thinks I'm crazy.

Nice to know "Crazytown" now has:

Population: 2

Might want to update your info that indicates otherwise. Hope you like your shiny RJ, you're gonna be there a while. Perhaps you've noticed what's happened to hiring since the decision.

 

[Hamburger]

Hire 'till you furlough, then furlough 'till you hire. At $108 a barrel oil, it's coming.

If only there were the thousands of jobs available as a result of age 60 retirements. Does age 65 still "rock"?

Funny:
People who want to fly to age 65 are greedy

People who do not want others to fly to 65 are not greedy, they just appear to want no stagnation and better opportunity to upgrade---for more money.
