I'm not ALPA, but are you going to sue all of congress as well? It is Federal law. ICAO rules ultimately drove the politicians on this devisive issue.
Would bet ALPA will cover legal costs of it officers per it's rules. So it does seem a bit counterproductive. BWDIK.
Not many like the 60 thing, bet alot of folks in 1959 didn't either. They probably felt scrogged since they may have planned on working longer <g>
Our union was about to get sued for not supporting the age 60 legislation. Go figure...
