I suspect if they weren't legally required they wouldn't do it. It sounds like a pretty expensive headache to cover the 3 people out the door before 62 who defer their 1st check.

First of many to come. I predicted long ago that even though a contract said normal retirement was at, for example, Age 60 or 30 years of service, the airlines would change that to "regulatory Age" or some other verbiage.

Why? So their pilots wouldn't be able to early out without losing some or all of their earned retirement benefits.

We have begun our journey down that slippery slope. Trust me, we will make you whole until I decide otherwise.

As long as they don't mess with the size of the chocolate cake again.

Don't be a bitter old man. They said they were legally required to do it. I assume they were, otherwise ALPA would let us know. It has to be more expensive to do it this way.

Damn Tony, you've gone full blown douche.....I used to respect your comments, even when I disagreed. And you never were personal.
Disappointing.

Would I regain your respect if I believed everything The Company said?



It's awful convenient that we agreed to let them change the age, IF ... lo and behold, here's the IF. The next step is the IRS calling shenanigans on the semantics game, and we won't get a full retirement benefit at Age 60.

Call me cynical if you wish. I call the alternative naive, and I'd like to know what good stuff has turned LAG from one to the other in such a short time. Not intended as personal, just an observation of shifting allegiances.

Life is good, and like I said most of the things I wanted fixed in the bridge contract have been fixed. I still wouldn't trade our contract with anyone else. Accepted fares suck but there is a provision to make them honest. It isn't the company's fault that SW/Frontier moved in, and we gave up mainline when possible in contract 2006.

When the company say in an E Mail they were legally required to change something, I believe them, and the important thing is they are honoring the intent and have committed to do so in writing. Were I a young guy I would certainly make a copy of that FCIF.
