The President signed HR 4343 tonight. It's over. The age of our retirement is now 65.

Congratulations to all of those who fought so hard to RIGHT this WRONG.

Glad you'll be so happy to work when you're wearing DEPENDS. I'll retire at 60 since that's when I'm SUPPOSED to retire. I'll be d@mned if I'm going to let this goverment work and tax me to death till the day I die. I guess you must not have much of a life to enjoy. Sad.............

You can retire tommarrow if you want too.

I'd be gone tomorrow if I could, but at 49 I've got to put away for a few more years to make that happen, then I'll be on the beach in SXM enjoying life as the old crochety pilots fall asleep at the wheel and forget where they put everything........... I haven't seen much good happen to our profession under this current regime, and it's only going to get worse. My 401K is down 35% in the past three weeks, but hey, they keep telling me how great things are. What a joke. Fortunately my 401K will only be a supplement and not my livelihood. I for one, learned that anyone who doesn't put away for themselves isn't paying attention and has no one to blame but themselves. I guess the pilots that pushed for this law will be back to the crying board soon screaming that 65 is discriminatory too. Personally I think they need to look at this deep and hard and realize it's about nothing other than money....
