Flopgut said:You and those who share your perspective want everyone else in this business (the village) to stand down with our normal career progression and support your desire to continue to work. A "right" you claim uniquely for yourself. You don't care about the recently retired, the furloughed, the junior or anyone else. Just yourself.
Note to those who want to retire at 60. If your carrier still has a DB plan this will hurt you. Normal retirement age will follow any rule change, so retirement at 60 will be termed early. At CAL that means (for example) if you have 25 years at age 60 and you want to retire, you will lose 450K plus of your lump sum. This is according to a CALALPA committee member.
What is normal career progression? As far as 60 being early, yeah it's early. Five years too early. Think of that 450K as the minimum you have to lose...take the five years.
Face it, you're gonna have to work longer. Do you want to fly, or do you want fries with that? I'm thinkin' of you, champ!
