Let’s not give up the fight yet. Congress is still in session until 16Nov. We each need to send one more email asking to maintain the current rule or support ALPA’s proposal on changing the Age 60 retirement age with provisions. APAAD.org is planning a blitz campaign this week in Washington, DC. They don’t consider the pilots who want to retire while healthy and live a long life or damages done to other pilot’s careers.
Their own website announces the surrender of Captains T.L and J.B.L and another Capt J.J “hits the wall” on Nov 9th. I am sure there are many 50 year olds willing to take up their fight because it is about "discrimination". Yeah right, those in their 50’s want to advance their seniority and will not join the whining until they are 58 ½.
The law will change, it is up to us to change it in a way that protects accrued benefits, does not force us to work another 5 years and allows pilot to keep B funds in tact.
