Yes...in the Senate...not the house. It includes the Obestar amendment, which is basically the ALPA position paper.

What it means to me is this: In the interest of protecting the senior guys and trying to assuage the terrible loss of pensions at pax carriers, they are moving the age 5 years to the ight. Dave Webb lobbied hard (for fairness) to make the age retroactive to "crewmembers actively on a flight deck position". So...the guys who benefit the most will be over 60 guys at a company that was financially solvent all along and still had one of the best if not the best retirement in the industry. Ironic, isn't it?

Remember who supported this. It was the same guys you'll soon see getting bumped for training off the 777 left seat.

Its water under the bridge. Still waiting to hear from HercDriver....tomorrow one of us will announce our intention to run for Block 7 Rep.
