I hope someone there has the stones to call him out on the effects of his retro push.
I will not be able to attend.

What did your union do in regards to the "retro push"? Or are you simply talking about them pushing for the law to be changed?

This message would have been completely right on target had it come out a year ago. Way too late now boys. Now we all get to pay for age 60 retro and a lousy FDA LOA.

DW was the one who introduced the retro language in ALPA's position. It really didn't affect any other major ALPA carrier other than NWA and they voted against it.

I don't want to spoil your lovefest with DW, but retro was in the original House and Senate bills. The Oberstar/ALPA language that replaced the original language just made it more clear for those who have trouble with lawyer-speak.

But maybe I'm just letting facts get in the way of good story.
