I propose an LOA to the contract and let the majority of the membership rule. I'm sick of ALPAs senior driven policies. At my last airline, I had furlough protection until the MEC feed me to the wolfs to protect senior pay. What did retiree health care cost us in this contract? Just throw a bone to the bottom dues paying members. The good of the few outweigh the good of the many in our union. It is past time for the majority to take control of our union. Call your reps, get involved, and "Lets take it back".

You're leaving out that it will be the "regulated age" for those under the age of 60 at the date of implementaion, or whatever the effective date will be called.
It's not a contractual limitation. It's a regulatory limitation. It really has nothing to do with the contract, or protecting anyone's seniority rights.

I have no issues with what we did with retiree health care. We'll all benefit from that in the future.

That is nothing that another continuing resolution won't solve.

Age 60 and early retirement
Maybe this has been suggested somewhere in the last 200+ posts (can't be bothered to go threw them all 
) What will happen to the early out provisions?? will they move forward 5 years, and if so when? If the retirement age ups to 65 and overnight so does the early retirement penalty than you won't have to worry about Foxhunter or anyone else (in the near term) hanging on for 5 years. Unless FedEx allows normal retirement for all that want to at 60, I think its only fair that if the retirement age increases and if the early retirement penalties increases correspondingly, than they should do so at the same time with no graduated provisions. 
If the union leadership is listening, please don't attempt to negotiate any graduated provisions for early retirement. If the company can and will increase the age penalties will apply to an early out, they should do so without prejudice. If anyone wants to get out between 60+ to 65 they should take the same hit we all will.
