I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, I know where you're coming from.
You know what else is a stab in the back? All those uppity black people, women and foreigners who stole good airline jobs in this country from the American born, "good ole boy" white trash like us. Those were our jobs! Didn't they know what the status quo was when they applied?
You guys have wandered way off the ranch. This isn't about safety. This isn't about retirement. This isn't about furloughees. That's all red herring diversionary hyperbole. This is discrimination flat out and ALPA is part of it.
In a country built on a hearty work ethic, how did we get to the point where we rationalize firing people who want to work based on their age alone? This rule was finagled by management (American CEO C. R. Smith) and it needs to be corrected.
