I didn't say that. It will likely never affect me but I've been a strong supporter of elimination of the age discrimination for a long time. I don't mind seeing fellow pilots continue flying at any age. Current standards would apply to all. (Also a propionate of lowering the age requirement for the ATP to the age to obtain a drivers license.)

We're hiring guys off the street at 60+ - what's wrong with letting them continue their time at United. There's no way of determining why a guy needs or wants to extend his career at United(their airline) but in the spirit of unionism, I say get rid of the age discrimination and negotiate a fair way to determine how they should be allowed to return after forced retirement.

The political environment is ripe to finally rid ourselves of this age discrimination - GO RED TEAM!
