Well, duh, who has been members and paid dues the longest--it's about time that the union stopped pulling the rug out from under their longest paying members. At Air Canada Jazz they can retire anywhere between 55 and 65 --you get more in your retirement fund the longer you work--I don't see why it can't work here. I'm always amazed by how negative the outlook by some people on this forum about the whole flying gig is--I personally find it to not be that hazardous or stressful although there have been moments--however I'm glad that ALPA has finallly come to their senses and I predict that within 5years of the age changing everyone will wonder what all the fuss was about.
