So you think its OK for Congress to maintain a law that prohibits U.S. pilots from flying in U.S. airspace while allowing foreign pilots to do so? And your "logic" allows you to compare that to a U.S. law that applies across the board to all U.S. pilots?

Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was effected by the change to Age 65. F/Os got furloughed. Captains got frozen in position. Some people faced an additional 5 years on reserve.

That doesn't mean you or anyone else has the right to tell another pilot when he must retire, regardless of what the rule was when he started. By your "logic" unless you started your first airline job before the rule changed YOU should be required to retire at Age 60 as well.

There has been a whole lot of "I'm planning on quitting at 60" spewed here, but NONE of us knows the decision he/she will make until the cake with the 60 candles comes out. Will you really give up that last 5 years of earning potential? How's your health? Your spouse's health? You still have kids in college?

Everyone's life is different. Your upgrade "expectations" are just as invalid as your "logic." Expect your upgrade when the bid listing comes out, not a day sooner. Heck, you may not even make it to that day.
