That's my greedy self-serving position.
What's SWAPA's stance on this?
There you go.
Per most recent polling, we are against raising the retirement age. Kinda refreshing considering that when age 65 was coming out, SWAPA was all for it and had a former astronaut, then-SWAPA pilot be one of the loudest mouthpieces arguing for raising the retirement age to 65.
Ironically, the change came but it was too late for him. I’m not sure if he was one of the space cowboys who came back as FO’s on the bottom of the list or not - they are all gone anyway. Maybe someone can shed more light on how it all played out.
