MGP..
You skipped one. When you retire at age 60, how long will you have you been a wide body Capt? When you say you won't have "full retirement and benefits unless you work to age 66", what exactly do you mean? Do you mean you will have 25 years instead of 30 like 90% of the rest of us or will you not make 20 years? I am curious to see just how bad you think you have it. My guess is you will not be getting any sympathy from our brethren on the other side..

I've been a widebody Captain since 1992. Never asked for your sympathy.

Problem is that most ALPA members getting close to age 60 lost what they had. ALPA says "Sorry guys, we know you have been loyal, dues paying ALPA members for 30-35 years, we failed to protect your pension, except for those employed in Herndon. Did you old guys really think that ALPA could, would protect your pension? Just pay your dues to the last day, shut up, and enjoy your PBGC payment?" 
George why do you continue laying the fault of Failed Pensions in ALPA's lap?
It is not like ALPA has control over ERISA or the Repulican Administration.
