I think I saw that same notice from the USAF in the late 80's (with some minor differences) - nice editing job, though.

You guys are sucking energy away from our negotiations. Time to put on our war face.

Don't get me wrong, that is their prerogative and I respect that decision to hang out and make the big bucks. Just be honest. The latest I heard is "well I could get a lot more money in retirement if they raise the 260 cap".....really the 350 a year you have made for the last 3 60+ years does not cover the little extra you will make if they raise it. Are you seriously naive enough to think there will be a contract in the next 24 months before you turn into a pumpkin, or are you hoping that there is another bump in the age to 67? The other one I heard was "I am just sticking around for the travel benefits" yep, seriously you can't make this crap up.

Sir, you need to worry about what you're going to do as you approach retirement age and not what others are doing. And right now you should be more concerned about us all pulling together as a group to achieve a new contract instead of sniping a a section of the group to see if you can start class warfare. This is NOT the US Congress!

I can assure you that I was not trying to snipe or start class warfare. Just seems all the over 60 guys I fly with seem to have an unsolicited excuse for why they are staying around. I am good letting this thread die....as a matter of fact, moderator please delete it! That having been said how about next time you ask my intentions, instead of assuming the worst case scenario. I definitely have my retirement planning in order....thanks for the advice though!

Despite your previous pleading with the Mods to shut this thread down the above quote shows you to be disingenuous, and just a distracting sideshow when we should be focused on important unity and contract issues. Your wedge driving attempt is irrelevant, and your appearent need to "snap" at anyone disagreeing with you shows a bit of "Little Man" syndrome. Do something useful. Write your Rep about the direct dealing missives, don't attack a segment of "Us"...........food for thought.
