This doesn't make sense. If anything, ALPA would be fighting to get them hired at an ALPA carrier to raise their dues and replace the retirees leaving. ALPAs finances are going to take a massive hit in the next few years as topped out pilots retire and the average pay drops. Age 65 was a windfall for them, which is why they supported it.
