Extending Age 60

[Boz]

As some may know there is a debate on Capital Hill about extending the age 60 rule to 65. This will prolong the recall of furloughed pilots at many major airlines. I home you will look up your senator on the following link, and advise your senator my phone, mail or e-mail that you are against this Amendmant SR361 and to vote No.
