I can see the point that both parties have and i can agree with both
As a relative young crewmember I am not banking on any kind of retirement worth talking about, but what about some of those that had the carpet pulled from their feet in recent years? How many senior captains are at risk of not getting the reteriment they have worked for, shouldn`t they get a chance of securing something for thei future?
I know that increasing the retirement age would slow down growth and upgrades, but if those extra 5 years make the difference between making Captain or not, well, maybe we are guilty of poor planning too, or all the elbowing we have done has not paid off as it should.
We could leave it to the individuals, those who have a strong bank account might just be waiting for the firetruck on the parking rump, while others might just have a chance to avoid the meat counter at Publix.
