Skinny jeans go in and out of style. But you know what never goes away? Herpes.

Listening to the older guys cry about deserving Age 67 because Age 65 screwed them is just as bad.......

Or how they waited until it was the best time to cry about raising the age allowing those above them retire first......

Oh not to mention still pushing for raising the age due to a shortage when 2000 pilots just found themselves on the street.......

You're wasting your time using reason on this subject - it's purely emotional. Everyone "feels" like they "still got it". Everyone feels that it's the other guy that lost a step. Everyone feels that the guys they fly with still enjoy them. They're all the cool captain.

The last time this crap happened (age 65) I was on the bus listening to a discussion between a guy going from 727 FE back to 757 Capt and complaining about the FMS while the guy he was bitching with was an MD-11 Capt who was irritated that he couldn't get his son hired.

Self awareness and logic is never a part of this conversation.

Default Not the right time

This is total Garbage. Those senior Captains had their time in the left seat. It’s time for them to get out of my way! This is clearly not the right time for an age change……it should absolutely wait until I’m a wide body Captain turning 60. Then it definitely will be the right time to change that age limit - we can’t support age discrimination!

Everyone gets old and eventually has to retire. Trash talking and calling guys names never wins your argument. You to will get to the end and ​​​​​but I know you will retire at 55 because you want the young guys to save the company and the union.

Even more fun when they dont realize they just deleted every altitude constraint in the STAR while doing that.

I know all the young guys are Ace of the base or king of Embry Riddle and would never make a mistake.
