Don't you think that retroactivity for the current over 60 S/O's, and guys on a LOA, will open up a pandora's box in the courts?

I think it will just make the case even stronger for the other over 60 guys that are going to sue to get their jobs back. Not all of them were able to go to a back seat and were forced to retire. Why shouldn't they be allowed back in the cockpit, too? Many of them did not want to retire...They had to. I'm sure there are many at UAL, or DAL or whereever that asked for a LOA, but were denied.

It seems to me that "the right thing to do" is either, all of them or none of them. I vote for the latter.
