I don't see how ALPA can support keeping age 60 with a straight face since they also represent Air Canada Jazz and Air Transat who have contracts that go to age 65--and those ALPA members can now fly in US Airspace at 60 or above yet dues paying members of ALPA who fly for US carriers cannot.
I read in the posts about how all of you will be irreperably harmed by raising the retirement age--how you all want to retire at age 60 or before--you all must really hate aviation and hate your jobs.
To put it simply, a rule change will provide a tremendous financial windfall (5 more years at the top of the pay scale) to those who are approaching age 60 at tremendous expense to those who are not approaching age 60 (higher LTD and insurance costs, diluted pay rates on future contracts, stagnant seniority movement, etc.) It's quite a bit more "greedy" to want 5 more years at the top pay scale at the expense of your younger co-workers than to want to maintain the status quo.
