S. 65 and H.R. 1125 still alive (age 65)

[HA25]

On the day the flag drops on this disaster:

- An F/O with young kids and a stay-at-home wife will get five more years at the same job for the same pay;

- An S/O will get to look at the panel for 5 more years for the same pay;

- A regional captain raising babies on $45k a year gets another five years to enjoy it;

- A military guy who wants to leave the sandbox and the SAM's behind for his dream job gets to wait another five years;

- A regional F/O who is stacking lumber at Home Depot on his off days gets another five years of explaining to his girlfriend that this really is a good career;

- A CFI gets 5 more years (if he survives) of bug-smashing;

- A CFI-wannabee gets to sell cars, or insurance, or frame houses for 5 more years.


Think I'm exaggerating? O. K. then change each line to 4 years. Make it any better? There's only so many jobs folks. It's a zero-sum deal.

Well said... with thousands of furloughed pilots out there, this IS NOT the time for age 65.. someday maybe, NOT now..
