Well, when that age 60 rule goes away the industry is doomed for five years as far as both majors hiring and upgrades/QOL advances. The airlines themselves may object as they will have more guys maxing out the payscale. This may most likely effect future contracts if it passes. Maybe the individual companies will offer an incentive to still retire at 60. Being a roadie for 25 plus years takes its toll on the body and the family. I realize that everyone has their own reasons to work or not work past 60 but for me I am/was looking forward to retiring "young" and doing something else that keeps me home more, teeing it up, etc. It's not like the age 60 rule just happened. Folks know it is there and should plan accordingly. It will be interesting to see how both sides argue this issue. I guess playing devils advocate I should say that with most companies going 401k it does not matter when you retire and 60 is still a possibility
