And if it is because you are fully funded and want that seniority I understand. But the whole "you knew the rules when you signed up, and now you are trying to change them", is on thin ice. When I signed up, most spent 10 years flying checks, at a regional, or some other crappy job. Most got hired at a legacy at around 30-35 "knowing" they would retire at 60, with a fat check in the mail every month. All that changed. Nobody asked if I was ok with that. So now that nobody that makes the decision for you is asking your opinion, you keep coming at the people that have a different opinion from you, that also have no say in this. I will retire when I age/medical out, I don't donate to any of the LG(reedy)PF, because I don't agree with their rhetoric. But if I get an extra 2 years, I hope I can use them. Things change. Don't blame the wrong people for that.
