I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I've been expecting something like this since watching regionals shut down due to staffing issues.

I'll call my reps and see if they know anything.

Aren't you a senior CA at the lazy U yet? I thought you'd been here for more than a couple of years..

I got no problem with age 67 as long as you’re willing to go back to the bottom of the seniority list. Keep your pay band and vacation, but go back on weekend reserve and stop being a greedy b@stard.

Welcome news for all of us. Getting a new contract before retirement might be possible now for someone in their 30s.

For many who got screwed by Age 65…..this actually counteracts that and gives them a few more years at the right end of the pay scale. But for others….it just means more time stuck in the mud.

I hope the old grandpas aren’t offended when a gen z has to take the controls during a boomer senior moment. After 65 an auto land should be required on their legs, plus they should be banned from landing at certain airports.

With all due respect, I am barely Gen X, on the older side. 25 years in, 10 years left, and on my 4th company (all involuntary). I would not be unhappy with the chance to fund my kids college funds (because I could not afford kids the first 10 years of my career, so they are still young), and put some extra away for me. I am sure there's plenty of us in that situation, not all 55+ year-olds have been WB captain at a legacy for the last 25 years. Also not asking for violins or crying rivers.
