Bringupthebird said:Gee flop, all you have to do is apply. Why not go off to China or India and fly as Capt.? You get your upgrade and the current Capts. get the option to continue for a couple more years if they need/want to. Sounds like a win-win to me.
I mean you're telling them to take a hike to benefit you. Why the double-standard?
Lets be clear. I'm "telling them" we have a 50 year old rule that a majority of us in the profession support. I'm "telling them" its a good rule.
Is there a more glaring double standard than a bunch of pilots who want to work to 65 after everyone before them got tossed out at 60?
I want my fair share of this business. I will respect it, try to improve it, and pass it on! When its my turn to work elsewhere, I'll do it.
