When will the moaning and crying stop? It's here to stay. Deal with it. Plan accordingly for YOUR retirement; a good way to start is to not begrudge someone else's retirement decision.

It's an FAR to put <60 next to a name on a seniority list or do the dispatchers not know how to add and subtract?

If you run the numbers , unless someone has been extremely fortunate or has a Mil retirement also, going past 60 is a no brainer. The difference in income between working or retiring is ugly.[/QUOTE]

And that is the reality of it all.

I think I was right, I meant it in the sense that people turn 60 all the time and continue, when they leave at 65, they are replaced.
Anywhoooo, I think that the >65 is so that you know when you get paired with one that there are certain requirements, i.e. , it must be worked out in advance who will bring the Geritol, and who will supply the Metamucil

hey, what do our 747 seat cushions smell like? Depends....
