Does anyone think it is suspicious that the NPRM was announced soon after Prater took office?

Seduced by the dark side of seniority....Darth Prater?

AN FO with a 6 digit income. Life's rough isn't it? C'mon folks lets get some perspective here. The most junior mainline guy is pulling down upper 5, if not 6 digits. Meanwhile some of these senior guys worked their entire career only to have the rug pulled out from under them at the last minute. It has nothing to do with how they planned. They "planned" to have their pension. They didn't "plan" to have their pension taken away with nothing to replace it. If the worst thing that happens to you is that you have to spend an extra 5 years at First Officer wages (the aforementioned 6 digit income) then life's been pretty good to you hasn't it?

This is why management always gets the better of pilots. You're too busy screwing each other to fight back.

What planet do you live at?

You better check your facts. CAL, a "major" airline hiring like crazy, 1st year you won't even touch 30K, and if you stay in the 737, 5 years later, you might make 85K. In a 737 carrying up to 160+ pax, 900 series, it will probably take me 8-9 years to break 100K,, versus making 135$ an hour as a fourth year capt in the 737, as it is projected TODAY.

No to the age 60 change. Hey, how about those 2400 furlough guys at AA? they've been on furlough for 6 years now, and now you expect them to accept an additional 5 years more. At least their union has the decency to represent the will of the membership, and that's a lot more than I can say for ALPA.

Cap. Prater:
SIR, YOU MUST REPRESENT THE WILL OF THE MEMBERSHIP OR STEP DOWN.
