I am all for championing one's right to preserve and exercise their seniority, be it the bottom number or the most senior pilot. I did not like ALPA taking a stance against 67 and soliciting my support for that stance. I wasn't polled, it was just expected that ALPA knows best. Well, I personally disagree and wrote my Congressional reps saying as much. If the opportunity presents itself to have two more years of working 7 months a year, full healthcare, and ending most legs with an umbrella in my drink I can support that. Whether I do it is another question but It would provide an option to exercise the seniority that we all have worked hard to get. I don't begrudge anybody that stays to 65 or goes out early. That's the beauty of the career, it's not one size fits all.
