You we’re saying?
If you were around for the 85 strike, then I’m assuming you’re either a SCAB or a 570 (hired to scab). If you’re an OG striker than hats off to you.
You VOTED AWAY your pension 20 years ago. Plenty of pilots managed to amass 7-8 figures in their 401k. If your argument is you can’t afford to retire because of all those things, two more years isn’t going to solve that unless your plan is to just die in the seat before it becomes an issue.
