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?

As far as complaining on internet boards.....it is only allowed for senior pilots. If you are junior or even about to get furloughed you will be told to just take your medicine and shut up......

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....
