This isn't a resolution.
It is the plot of the next Star War franchise.
Can't kill me. I'm taking it all; then burning the planet.
Meanwhile, RJ pilots just hoping one of them gets it in before the Death Star blows up planet Comair, ASA, BizE, Freedom, Mesa, ExpressJet, GoJets, Distress I Airlines, Distress II, Pinnacle, Wisconsin, Compass, Sure Air, or Mesaba. ...

I won’t post the entire resolution publicly, other than the language above. However, the amended agenda for the Jan 17th meeting IS NOT available on the Council 54 page of DALPA’s website for you to verify. I hope it is updated soon so any Delta pilot with an interest in the topic of retirement can personally read the resolution.

Also, a Local Council resolution cannot direct the MEC, much less the entire Association. But don't tell them that either and when they write 2019 in the logbook, let it go.
Ironically, for their resolution to go anywhere, guess who has to fix it for them?

20 guys at a meeting can’t by themselves create this sort of change. It could get the ball rolling on updated polling of the entire pilot group to see if sentiment has changed, but I don’t think they are are gonna like what they find.

What noone really wants to talk about is what if the FAA enacts age 67 but it still isn't recognized by AESA/ICAO/etc...? Knowing that not all old guys are necessarily senior, how does bidding/awarding of reserve trips avoid abrogating seniority. In Canada, >65 can't be Captains... All those WB Captains going to jump down to a more predominately domestic fleet...potentially as an FO?
