This same sentence could be aimed at all the people who paint the people "under 40" with the "entitlement/me generation". Some food for thought. I don't blame people staying over 60 anymore than I blame 20 and 30 somethings for taking RJ jobs for crappy wages. The rules have changed, rather than demonizing the people who are staying/starting, perhaps if we feel so strongly about this, we should set out to change the rules? Balancing out the wages so that they aren't so top heavy would be a great way to start with getting people to retire earlier so that they don't feel they HAVE to stay just to make up for the years of poverty at the beginning, and taking back scope will stop the talk about the people taking jobs for peanuts. Would it be easy? No. Might it require some sort of B-scale for new people starting at an airline, so as not to screw the people already at the top? Yes. Will it require some sacrifices by mainline to resecure scope? Yes. Will it require some sacrifices by regionals to somewhat slower overall career progression? Yes. It's a mixed bag folks, but throwing around names and insulting ANY generation of people does nothing but hurt ourselves and create division.
