At least part of SWAPA was. I think the last vote was something like 55-45.

ONE LAST thing to for SWA guys remeber SWAPA was for the age 65...
Rez,
I agree that a lot of the ALPA rhetoric is overdone, but didn't a majority of the minority also say that ALPA should resist the change in retirement age????
Also, why does ALPA propose nothing about mitigating the windfall to the pilots who will turn 60 next year, ie phasing in the rules change??? Lastly, why does a "Blue Ribbon Panel" on the retirement age change consist of like 9 captains and one FO. I'm pretty sure the makeup of ALPA is closer to 50/50. I think we all know the reason, and it is not going to be easy to convince the FO ALPA membership that they were not just bent over and handed a ******************** sandwich on which they will dine the remainder of their careers.

No chance of being forced to work over 60 unless the IRS changes some pension rules, like forcing penalties on what may now be called early retirement(60).
My Dad used to call ALPA "The Captains union". Nothing has changed since the old days, except Prater and the top echelon will get to enjoy their exorbitant and outrageous ALPA salaries for another 5 years.
