Yes, they did vote: by unanimous consent. It is a procedural vote and is as valid as a roll call vote. There is no way you'll convince a court that the Senate didn't approve of this. They approved it unanimously
Do you really think you can convince a court that legislation diminishing the effects of arbitrary age discrimination is illegal, unjust, and unconstitutional? Good luck trying to make that argument.
There are very few guarantees in life and even fewer in the aviation industry. Banking on age 60 retirements to progress YOUR career could be likened to banking on your pension plan for comfortable retirement.
Sounds like you're the fool.
Your argument is based upon the concept of recovery of "lost income."Snow-back,
No, you made reference to the fact that F/O’s would want to fly when they reached the age of 60. I was trying to illustrate to you, that most F/O’s will have to fly all the way to 65 to recover income that was lost in the first place due to this rule change. This includes not only straight pay, but also the loss in pensionable earnings and compounding interest. The longer the stagnation, the worst the hit in career earnings for the junior crewmember. Do you understand that concept?
A massive transfer of wealth just took place two days ago that will have serious repercussions for the future of our industry and profession.
You are asking F/O’s to wait up to two decades for they see any positive income from Age 65.
How fair is that?

You hit the nail on the head! The new young breed coming into the industry are the typical Gen Y's. You owe us everything, we're entitled! The older generation owes you nothing! Seniority is seniority and that is the way it goes. When you are junior you can't wait until you're senior. Then seniority comes and the junior folks must wait their turn. All you young guys need to stop whining, it will be your turn at seniority soon enough. Time does go very fast. By the way , this is your typical ALPA move. Feed the old, starve the young.
