Sure, lift the retirement age. But after 65 you can’t be PIC and you’re limited to the continental US. If they really do need the money they’ll stay....

NOPE! Management buys airplanes, not pilots. They’re going to buy what they need regardless, our job is to make sure those airplanes employ US and I’m not willing to make any deal that allows that to be allowed further than it has. No RJs for more of what we already have (and mgmt needs).

I’m speculating here, but I’m guessing the reason we haven’t petitioned the NMB and haven’t herd a peep is because they are actually making slow albeit steady progress.
