Neither side will change the mind of the other. In the end it’s all
about the Benjamins. The Younger wants more sooner and the older wants more for longer. So now it’ll be tabled & studies for 3 years and then it’ll likely be raised…eventually. Ironically most of the Older Pilots that have funded this will have lost out and long since been retired. It is what it is. No sense in shooting inside the circle. Save your anger & ammo…all of us… for Management shenanigans & Sec 6 negotiations.
ALPA doesn't set the retirement age. You can complain about ALPA all you want, but they aren't the reason its 65 and they aren't the reason neither Congress nor ICAO has voted to change the age.
