What ALPA had changed was the verbiage to say "active flight deck crew member" --- this was critical to Fedex because it allowed those over 60, who were no longer acting as pilots, they were acting as Flight Engineers (a totally separate license) to return to flying

This small change in verbiage is what allowed those over 60 and on property to become eligible to fly a front seat again if the company put out a bid --- which they did

Regarding our Normal Retirement Age, one can still retire fully without penalty at age 60

However, the funding source may be different (qualified vs non qualified)

Now just wondering out loud --- does this difference have any tax affects on the retired pilot?

I haven't spent anytime researching yet

I hope ALPA did
