ALPA message line just came out with some high points:
ALPA will no longer object to age 60.
ALPA opposes any strengthing of medical requirements
ALPA is against having one crew member under 60 as a requirement
ALPA is against retro except for those carriers having CURRENT FLIGHT DECK OFFICERS..
So..for those that were wondering how ALPA would "shape the process...", here is your answer.
They want to do everything they can to protect the over 60 crowd and allow them to fly without restrictions as long as possible.
There is no more guesswork. Now you know.
