This career has yet to reimburse those of us who have suffered under onerous economic conditions. We have supply and demand on our side, and furthermore, any changes to increase the retirement law would not be in keeping with sane decision-making as it applies to aviation safety. Enough is enough.
I would like to see ALPA out campaigning right now to keep the law at 65 and drive results instead of having the results being driven by outside governments or special interest groups.
I remember all-to-well the "senior pilots coalition." Talk about greed.
So your premise is that the career owes you something but owes pilots who lost their pensions as they retired at 60 nothing? And it's only you who has "...suffered under onerous economic conditions...".
Tool.
