In general I support the elimination of the Age 60 rule, but I've got to call you out on this. The baby boomers who are facing the effect of Age 60,
invented "Me NOW!" You have got to be kidding me to try to lay this on younger pilots.
Your g-g-g-generation invented youth culture, coined "40 is the new 20", and "60 is the new 40", ran up a massive Federal Deficit which you won't be around to pay off, and even now demand more in SSI payments than you ever put in, forcing the next generation (which many of you were too selfish to even birth or raise) to support you.
And you have the cast iron B@!!s to accuse younger pilots of being selfish!?!
