There are too many variables to think we can change these habit patterns. Most guys really like the job. Beats sitting at home with a post menopausal 55-60 yo wife. Hell, Fred is worth over a billion and he is still working. Want ppl to retire at 60 change the age back to 60. From what i hear the pilot shortage is officially over, forever.

It's not complicated but it does require having a collective mentality, which is essential for a successful unionized work force but is not so much for our DFT, buy back way of thinking.

But I'm not interested in anything that targets a portion of the seniority list over others like in the past. We all pay the same % of dues! 
We also Reap what senior Capts sow....like the draft rate of captains during negotiations which was staggering among those seniors Captains vs the FO list. So hopefully captains will understand they can reap much more $ with a much improved retirement (A Fund & B Fund) than with a few shekels of draft pay.
