Default Age 67

Hey all
I started a FB page called Pilots for Age 67. All are welcome to join. Senator Lindsey Graham has written the legislation. We are trying to help it along. There is also another group called Raise The Age who are very organized.

I’m considering starting a TikTok called “I knew the rules when I joined, but now that it benefits me I’d liked them changed please”.

FFS Hell no, 320 Captain. Graham should follow Feinsten and retire. Make biscuits or something .​​​​​​
Same goes for the likes of Mark Facey.

The day after you retire. Not a day sooner. If you are claiming discrimination, please inform me of other marginalized groups you’ve fought for publicly/actively.

I am all for age 67. Those hired the day after the legislation passes, can go to age 67. Those of us who were already boned hard by age 65 and are presently employed, can go to age 65. Anything other than that is unadulterated greed and it is intended for some guys to get more at the expense of others.

There's more to life than this.
He probably thought he was going to have a pension, too.

Back then, pilots retired 3-5 years early (55-57), instead of wanting to push to fly longer.

Thanks for bring this up mark. It’ll help organize and codify the opposition to this legislation. I’ll be writing my reps ASAP and enticing others to do the same.

FWIW. When the resolution at the ALPA BOD in 2012 to oppose change of age 65 was presented, it passed unanimously as I recall.I imagine since the demographics have changed since, there would be even less line pilots that were in favor of moving the age than before. That doesn’t mean you won’t find somebody in congress like LG to support it, but I doubt it could pass as a stand alone bill as long as there is a Dem Pres and Senate,

Why not drop the ATP minimum required age from 23 to 21?
