DOT seeks age 60 opinion, young guys speak up

[walden]

I respect your right to pursue life, liberty and property. All I ask is that you do the same for me.

No, you don't. At least on this issue, you're "respect" and your desire to change the game are mutually exclusive.

Walden,

I swore I wouldn't descend into a food fight, but first let me say that I have done nothing to try and "change the game."

Looking at your aviation quals you aren't a fighter pilot, so why hide behind the Great Santini?

All of the rants on this thread and others like it will not stop the coming change. My question is simply this, why do you care so much? Is it safety or is it your desire for a rapid upgrade? Drs can practice until they are dead, pop pills all night long etc. Are you actively working to prevent that?

People vote their pocket book, and act in their own best interest. Let us bury the hatchet and agree to disagree, that is true respect.

just wanted to move this to the top again. (for those that are against changing the rules in the middle of the game because of bad luck or poor planning). I personally would be embarrased to be in favor of this. That would mean that I was relying on someone else to ensure my stability when I finally retire. Imagine, the seasoned pilots with the same attitudes of the new peeps, "I deserve this". Remember, they come from the same generation that thought Social Security was a retirement plan and not a forced savings for those that can't, don't or are to ignorant to prepare.

All I have to say to that is....huh? It's an f'ing avatar. I don't believe I've ever represented myself as a fighter pilot. Let's see then, could it be that I just like the movie? Nah, that wouldn't reinforce you're overbloated sense of self. Knucklehead.

Thanks....I was having trouble trying to find the second of those two links.

Here is the web address of two different steering commitees sponsered by the DOT. They are looking for opinions on the upcoming age 60 rule. Take the time to fill out both opinion surveys or don't complain if they change the rule.

I took the time to send my opinion....most probably not the one you might like, but I sent it anyway.

Thanks for posting this address...now they know how I feel about this change...and no, I won't be complaining when the change happens.

Well, Santorum is out. Age 60 might stick around a while longer...
