I’m comparing 2022 to now, a net loss of 58 aircraft. The complete outsourcing of the EU narrowbody network had nothing to do with the pandemic.

Can you elaborate on that last part that you mentioned about earning in retirement? Everyone’s scenario is different. Personally, I’m saving and planning for retirement (and have been for over 20 years) without taking any pension into consideration. I sacrifice every paycheck to invest in my future and my family’s financial security. The issue I have is that the projections and calculations I make are based on being employed and earning for the next several decades. Sec 1 is what guarantees my earning ability barring any disqualifying medical event. I’ll continue to save and continue to plan, that’s my responsibility to my family.

I’m sorry you chose to spend every penny and not save when the opportunity allowed and now you’re dependent on a pension increase to keep you afloat in retirement. The worst part of that is you’re asking me to sacrifice my own family’s financial security and my earning ability to make up for your mistakes. You’re an adult, a 64 year old man, you now have to live with the choices you’ve made. Fortunately for you, many of us have still supported a balanced strategy and will take some lesser gains in order to secure a better section 28. We could have had a deal that would have passed years ago if we were as willing to sell out the near retirees as you are willing to sell out those with long careers ahead.

For the record, I have flown with you and it is surprising that your real persona is so much different than your online persona.
