The way I understand it and heard it from ALPA: ALPA polled the membership and the majority was in favor of changing age 60. ALPA said OK, we'll be proactive in the process and get involved with the FAA to protect the pilot's interests.

I don't know or care about Prater or any ALPA leadership. I didn't see the poll results. I don't know what politics are involved. I'll try to find the source for the above statement. I know this is a public forum and any and everyone has an opinion, but let's stick to the facts whatever they may be.

By the way, I'm 40 and I want the age 60 rule.
