I understand the emotion here. But don't let emotion steer your anger away from the real facts. ALPA
wasn't lobbying for the change in age 60.
If ALPA does in fact change its position, they still won't be Lobbying for the change, they will be lobbying to hopefully have an input in the language.
They might be forced to lobby for any potentail IRS changes which might come afterwards. Lets face it, Retirement issues are the biggest threat here, not seniority. Realize it isn't just the very JR guys who take a hit, we all take the same percentage hit if the law changes. To this point we might disagree.
One thing I think we can ALL agree on is we do NOT want to see our retirement benefits reduced.
So go ahead and DUMP your PAC donoations, who else is looking out for you in Washington?
Realize we still have many negative things looming on the HILL.
Pension Reforms
Open Skies issues
License harmonization (which ought to scare the hell out of everyone that hase more than 10 years left.
And yes Age 65 implementation.
Dump the PAC,, yeah you'll show em
