Seeing as how most other airlines pay scales top out at 12 yrs of service ALPA is not getting anymore money by keeping the over 60 around. Reason being.... I doubt seriously there are any captains at any Major ALPA carrier with less than 12 yrs on the property.
Don't like the Age 60 thing? Thank the Europeans!
