Extending the retirement age exacerbates the sins of the past and rewards it. If they think infrastructure is racist, then it’s an easy conclusion that a date of hire seniority list created pre DEI needs run it’s course as fast as possible.
If WIA, OBAP, and NGPA , can campaign they have 3 times as many members on the bottom half of the seniority list, vs the top half, it shows extending retirement age is just extending income inequality.
So you’re saying that the WIA and NGPA ( both founded in 1990) 33 years hasn’t been long enough to diversify the career or OBAP (Founded in 1976) hasn’t had enough time to diversify as well. I’ve flown with a very diverse group in the last 20 years so I don’t buy the white monster keeping others out argument and I think the so called Woke politicians would be embarrassed to embrace such an argument. This idea sounds more conspiratorial than factual. The majority of the white monster generations have retired and I say white monsters with a heavy dose of sarcasm. The individuals that these groups represent are there for a portal into the career and you have to know not all said individuals are interested in aviation.
