That makes some assumptions. The first being that we all went back to the airlines we were furloughed from. But after the 65 increase, the furloughs were extended so long that many of us just moved on and started over. About a 12 year hit for me.
It also assumes they're already in the left seat. If not, it's just another hit to career earnings.
It also assumes we would medically be able to fly to 67 to recoup those lost earnings. That's a big gamble.

I just hope we all start to get some better contracts and it won’t be such an issue to have people ahead of us.

That will help supplement my income as a Walmart greeter.
