The best chance the salesmen have of making their legacy come to pass is giving us all an individual option to opt out and keep exactly what we have right now.

I have a plan and I'm confident it will work for me and my family. I'm not able to retire next year with it all wrapped up in a bow ready to pile on whatever gravy comes of this effort. Nor do I have a 20-30 year investment horizon to take advantage of whatever potential long term benefits this proposal MAY offer.

It doesn't seem possible that a 30 year WB captain, a 53 year-old WB FO who always planned to go at 60 and a 30-year old new hire can all be served equally by whatever comes of this. I don't begrudge anyone the opportunity to improve their situation but expecting others to sacrifice (or at least risk) what they already have to make that happen doesn't seem right.
