Uhh, I think Congress did this to "us." I didn't see any hoards of 59 yr old pilots storming the capitol, begging to screw the young guys.

BTW- Your screenname just seems to scream, "whoa is me, life is just not fair." Talk about taking it up the chute!!
Look at it from the other side. You have a great paying career for a long time, whether you decide to stay till 60 or 65. I'd like to be a WB Capt, but if I'm stuck where I am, I'm still making a huge amount of money, compared to most of the people (other airline pilots included) I know. So are you. While things can always be better, life is good, or hadn't you noticed?
