No offense to you personally, but I just got done flying with a captain who educated me on the PERP guys (think that's how it's spelled). Senior captains who came back to fly the line pre-bankruptcy after retiring and taking their payouts all while we were furloughing junior guys. All while maintaining their pay and seniority.

Though a short period of time, my stomach still turned knowing DALPA would sign off on this with an LOA.

Age 65 is also widely recognized by most as another source of career stagnation over the past 5 years.

Personally, I think our pilot group has a hard enough time negotiating things for ourselves, never mind negotiating things for pilots who have long left and retired.

Again, I don't begrudge you personally, but I think you may have struck a tender nerve for a lot of junior guys with your suggestion.

And I do wear boxers, but I'm out of gold bond.
