If you don't have enough saved for retirement, extending 2 years won't make a difference. The one thing I agree with Scott Kirby on were his comments a while back saying the only thing extending to age 67 will do is keep senior pilots on disability longer. This will not help with pilot retention meaningfully but, in fact, increase costs to the airlines without getting anything in return. Unless this legislation is snuck into some must-pass bill, I don't see it surviving on its own.
ICAO will probably lead the way once again.
This is why you actually negotiate and make a fourth pillar in contract negotiations, make it less attractive to stay around if you can be collecting without working. The VEOP was an excellent example of this.

ALPA was against 60 to 65 right up until they weren't.

Wow. So glad there's a thread on this subject. I've never seen one before.
Now let's all change each other's minds.

Mark, these threads have a tendency to devolve into a food fight. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, I won't delete this thread so as to allow your FB group the publicity, but I'm locking this thread down before it turns to crap.
Crewdawg - You beat me to it. I also went back and deleted some of the more juvenile comments.
