Yeah, someone mentioned it being possibly age 67+364 and then the age 67 crowd got spun off on it as the new rule. Even though the bill just said 67. Now the aging pilot groups and their facebook pages have upped the ante to no age limit. I think their name is now “No limit, No holds barred, No Mercy” or something like that.

I believe language somewhere actually spelled out 67+364, but it was later dumped to just 67.

Oddly enough, Gen Z and the Baby Boomer generation are both obsessed with the number 67. Walk up to a high school kid or a Capt with a few months left and say you think the new retirement age should be “six seven” and they will both be thrilled.

Mencius Moldbug aka Curtis Yarvin is an interesting read, but his writing style is "Why say it in 500 words when you can say it in 10,000?"
The shorthand reference I was shooting for is that the ratchet effect of increasing mandatory age of pilot retirments only goes one way (older).
(If it's a much better, and shorter version of MMs thoughts on elite theory is what you're looking for, "The Populist Delusion" by Neema Parvini and/or "The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom" by James Burnham are excellent. If this kind of thing floats your boat, beware. This is a mind bending rabbit hole.)

I'm still trying to figure out how a 3rd party vendor can access personal data about Detla pilots, sold out by Delta, so the vendor can montize it.
But it's probably since the clown running it was one of the most managment-friendly union shills in airline history. Yeah, that's you, curly.
Amazing how this guy gets a complete pass on Delta's privacy and cyber security policies.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think he was either Communications Committee or Strategic Planning, but not EA back then. It's been over 14 years since Moak left the MEC and went to National. I don't think Curly went with him.
