Emotional topic indeed. I don't have a problem with guys staying on past 60, they were told it was ok to do so. I have a problem with them saying that age 65 had NOTHING to do with my second furlough. Yes, the economy and other factors were involved, but NO RETIREMENTS was the nail in our coffin. If they need to make themselves feel better by saying age 65 had nothing to do with furloughs, fine. There are guys that can justify crossing a picket line too.

Again, if you are over 65, I don't blame YOU for my furloughs, but DO NOT say that age 65 had little to no effect on my career. I'm sure you and your families stayed in your homes and ate just fine over the last few years.
