Rez O. Lewshun said:Meanwhile in other news the ALPA EB defies it membership. Many ALPA members demanded that ALPA adhere to the will of the membership. One ALPA pilot who remained anonymous stated: We demand that ALPA leaves us in the pre deregulation era. We don't want to be progressive. Nor do we want to adapt to the changes. We demand that we stay inside the box. We reject any outside of the box thinking. Even though the industry is radically changing we insist on using old school laws.
So Rez...you seem to be implying that the EB "knew what was best" for ALPA members "despite ourselves" (my words) and made a highly controversial policy decision that runs counter to the will of the majority.
If you were King ALPA & FAA for a day, what "progressive" changes would you make to the retirement age? Please include details and the implementation procedures you would like to see...and I hope you'll stay away from the talking points in the ALPA press release and tell us all honestly what you think would be a reasonable policy.
I'm sure if polled avg citizens they'd want a 50% cut in taxes. But it isn't going to happen. It is quite fustrating that the avg. ALPA member is, respectfully, stomping thier feet and pouting THE WILL OF THE MEMBERSHIP- THE WILL OF THE MEMBERSHIP!
That is the only arguement they have. They don't want to consider the realities of the situation. Democracy requires responsibility.
In addition, I also realize that the EC and EB is much more informed on the issue and understand the CapHill dynamics of the situation. I don't think they have personal agenda's.Uh yeah, this is why the "blue ribbon panel" was made up of like 9 captains and one FO! I'm sure personal agendas were never considered, even slightly.
In fact, I find it interesting that the leadership is moving to block over 60 that already left from returning, wouldn't want to ruin if for those in charge, just the junior FO's.

Maybe you should work on your spelling while you are preparing for your baby sitting job. It kind of sucks when the baby can spell better than you do. Just kidding, kind of. You just seem to have little respect for the senior guys.
descrimination, Couldn't find this word in the dictionary either.
