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.

My comment covered all those assumptions. Good for SOME. Not good for others. You are clearly in the “others” camp. It’s a pretty $hitty system when we all have to hope for the end of somebody else’s livelihood to bolster our own. 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.
