So how is it, that protecting the current over age 60 guy's rights, under the CBA, the "right thing to do"...But, abusing the under age 60 guy's rights not the wrong thing to do?

I agree, the age 60 thing is most probably a done deal. But, actively trying to influence the new reg to include retroactivity, is wrong. That is not protecting the over 60 guys seniority rights. That is attempting to give them new rights.
