Neither do you ace. Stop making this stuff up.
Seth is indeed past retirement age - which is yet another reason that ALPA doesn't hold all the universe's cards with regard to negotiation expertise. What happens when he DOES retire in your world? Oh yes...you surrender to management before negotiations.
You are embarrassing yourself by making such a claim. Many independent unions (both domestically and internationally) make far more money than we do. Are you really this clueless?
