I think they should have unbound opportuities at flight schools and as instructors where thier experience and mentorship can be best utilized. Regional airline training departments seems the most logical.

A lot of former nobodies and retired pilots on that list. Definitely some pandering by an old MEC Chairman here was the panderer in chief and got us into this retirement restoration debacle in the first place by claiming we could raise DC to 25%. Dollar signs can do a lot to cloud a soon to be retired guy's vision. Many of them, I'm sure, were opposed to 65.

I don't favor 67. I think 65 was the sweet spot between being fair and a decline in ability to multitask and handle complex situations. What I do find odd however is the current group of pilots screaming about the loss of what would probably be a year to 14 months of career advancement. I find it odd because pilots hired post 2007 have seen a unheard of level of advancement. They will also enjoy a retirement probably triple pilots who have retired in the last 5 years.
