Also got an "amplifying" email from the LEC with a promise of another letter addressing "retroactivity."

Q1. Has our MEC ever disagreed with whatever agenda Dave Webb happens to be persuing at the moment? ( remember how Mike Aiken quit as FPA president because he was unhappy with the MEC not rubberstamping his decisions)
Q2. Is there any coincidence that Dave was re-elected unopposed to a new 2-year term starting 1 June 07, and then announcing that he wants to try to influence Ms Blakey to change the stated policy that the S/Os cannot bid back to the left seat?
Q3. Is foxhunter an alien from the planet "Geriatric", who happens to be 614 years old and was send here to cripple the American aviation industry?

"you won't have to worry about Foxhunter "


My only worry about George is that he MIGHT be pouring my coffee for me. However, in light of the acrimony that's building, he might be wise (obviously, if he hasn't managed his finances well enough that he's dreaming about a resurrection back to the front seat till 65, he isn't) to forego the backseat and take a job somewhere else where he hasn't wee weed in the punch bowl.

If you're determined to believe that the ATA is willing to pay for your, and many others' training, to come back to the front seat so that you can call in sick. Well, you really are sick. Maybe those silly little blue pills from VCP, taken in large quantities, also produce hallucinogenic effects on some elderly subjects.

Your comments show who is really sick! I suggest professional help ASAP.:(

Have my dollar ready when I see you in 3 strips...... When to you go October?

this from FDX ALPA...

The majority of other member ICAO countries have much more stringent flight physicals than we do, and there is a risk that our FAA may adopt similar measures. There is also concern that if the regulated age is changed to 65, there may be tax issues related to those carriers with defined benefit plans. Additionally, we must also ensure that wording in “age change” legislation clearly spells out that already retired pilots have no right to return to their previous seats with their previous seniority numbers.

Make him wear 2 stripes! He won't be a pilot anymore! LMAO!

I don't like that word retired in that paragraph.

The real issue with age 65
 

I still think the raising of the early retirement is the biggest negative that is (potentially) brewing. What a wind fall for FedEx and the industry!! :mad: The young (junior) guys have thier own issues, we all senior, junior, over and under 60, stand to lose big if we have to work to 65 to collect our rightfully earned benefits. :confused: :mad:

You can work till 65 but I don't plan. I'll let you move up a number early! ;)
