It would be nice for ALPA to think about the guys/gals that are younger than age 40.
How about some consideration for the regional pilots? I agree with typhoonpilot more and more every day- ALPA supports the older guys more and more with each one of these decisions.
What a coincidence that suddenly older pilots have better life health after the pensions are slashed. It may be rough making $150k instead of $225k... but it looks like $20k at the regionals for even MORE time now. Fun.
