Some states will not allow night time driving by under 18 drivers. The judgement is just not there among many.
I don't want 16 years olds drinking and driving anymore than I want a 50 year old doing it.

As for the states that want to change the driving age to 18 I'd like to ask them if there is a drop in accidents, how much is that related to judgement vs. the 2 years of driving experience that they've had and that the novelty of driving having worn off.

Hopefully the whole case will take about 5 years and be very expensive

[quote=Skyone;416009] And there were no airline terminated pension funds either. So tell me how he should have prepared better for his retirement? /QUOTE]

Sky,

Unfortunately, there was at least one...TWA.

There are also several carriers that went belly up leaving pilots without A funds.

Keep in mind that when this happened the age 60 subject was readdressed by ALPA. And many who benifited from the change were voting no to it then!

As a senior Delta pilot told me.... enough money goes through your wallet to have a nice retirement, regardless of the company pension, if you chose to prepare!

I just find it interesting that the argument is made about money and yet no consideration is made that they benefited from the age 60 rule and many will lose money due to 65 and could lose even more if the older than 60 come back.

I don't think you can bring up the money side of it with out taking into consideration both sides of the money.

the god given right scenerio to a captain is all about seniority seniority seniority. some of that is gained by growth like you said but it is also gained by retirements. at a smaller company like horizon growth will be larger factor than retirements compared to a major.
You know, some of these less experienced guys are just not too bright.
