So who (still) needs a reason to keep the age 60 rule?
FoxHunter, who if true is an MD-11 capt, it would also be true he was here during the infamous "parking lot fiasco" under the previous union. Possibly
Foxhunter can't remember (due to the aging process, we are all, ultimately victims of it
) Just to refresh, when we voted ALPA out, to vote in our independent union, we were all told how we would have "interest based bargaining", I just can't recall our interests ever being considered. Oh by the way, your friend and former FPA officer, Capt Cassel says "hello" and drop by some time.
