Of course this benefits the over 25 crowd. If I recall, and someone correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it CD who said we have a ‘Moral Obligation’ to get those folks over 25 years something for their additional years on property?
I for one feel no moral obligation to give them more, while I’ll now have to work harder and longer to keep growing my stack of pancakes if this scheme ends up becoming a reality.
It’s so frustrating to be paying dues to an organization that is supposed to represent me and my interests. This retirement scheme is something I want no part of - when I run the modeler I get very little benefit for the added risk. I just don’t get how I’ve yet to talk to anyone who favors this solution to fix our retirement, yet our MEC is running with it because they seem to know what’s best for me and my fellow pilots despite our wishes that they look at some other options.
