I said this before. As soon as the politicians voted for age 65, I called my state senators and congressman. I was able to talk to two of the aides. Both said the same thing. FAA still opposed the rule change. Since ALPA was endorsing age 65, the politicians voted it through. Thanks ALPA. I know this excess bid would still happen regardless, but there wouldn't be as many pilots affected. I wouldn't be as upset if the majority of pilots wanted age 65 but the majority didn't. If Prater runs against a donkey next time, the donkey has my vote.

I said this before. As soon as the politicians voted for the civil rights act, I called my state senators and congressman. I was able to talk to two of the aides. Both said the same thing. The south still opposed the act. Since the White House was endorsing the act, the politicians voted it through. Thanks White House. I know desegregation would still happen regardless, but there wouldn't be as many white people affected. I wouldn't be as upset if the majority of whites wanted desegregation but the majority didn't. If Johnson runs against a donkey next time, the donkey has my vote.

You NDs just don't get it do you? It's all about having your cake and eating it too. Take a long look at all the names of the guys getting a downgrade on the latest practice bid. I'm not thinking any of those guys are going to want to look at much less fly w/ a ND (personally I'd rather fly with a non-member). Welcome to the party. Have fun being the pariah.

How should the junior guys treat you should you fly past 60? Not trying to incite just the flip side of the coin?
Past.. (Not an ND nor anywhere near it)
