So 24 years into an airline career they grabbed the brass ring of the NB A and will be there for the remainder. And never had a pension or PBGC entitlement BTW

He did that by choice. He also had a B plan that is turning into pure gold. My son gets more in his B plan per month in year two than I made total in year 4.

By choice you say. Not correct. How much did you make in year 4 and what year was that?

Two furlough letters and over 12 years to make 6 digits. Five years making under $30k. Worked two jobs for ten years to pay the bills. I don’t call that an unheard level of advancement. How much more out of touch can he get?

Just curious. Do you not know how much pilots made at the regionals in the 2000s? Speaking of out of touch

What is your point? Of course I did, he said people hired after 2007 have had an unheard level of advancement. Most people didn’t have any advancement for 10 years. As usual you chime in on something and add nothing to the discussion.

I wonder how many of them would support 67 if it went into effect with 5 year implementation schedule?

I mean, it’s all about safety and mentoring right?

You're trying to gain sympathy about how little you made from a group of people who made 1/4 of what you made while you're saying you were poor. You had far better fortune than many of them yet here you are saying those same people should feel fortunate.

Okay, sure, you are right and I’m wrong. You are right about everything on here. You have never been wrong about anything. You should take all your wisdom
you write on this forum and write a book. God knows it would be a way better use of your time.
