The slowdown in growth and hiring, and especially the age 65 rule changed the assumptions dramatically. Hopefully both of our new contracts will address this retirement disparity. Personally if we can get our A plan to even resemble yours, I'll gladly punch early and let someone else have the opportunity for the left seat.
Agree with Lineslug, we all had expectations when we were young but as we mature we know these expectations change and become a reality. I do disagree with many of you on the chance of never upgrading @ UPS. The pilot group will basically turn over in approximately 10-12 years. So for those f/o that are jr and age 47 & younger, will have a good seniority.
