APA and ALPA oppose extending beyond 65.

Maybe your lobbyists and donors are bigger than they are.

Current administration is pro-union and picks up Line-1 when the union is calling.

Remember older guys babysit the younger ones. That's the definition of " babysitting" and I've done plenty of that thank you. All for age 67/68. Not just an ALPA talking point stooge I can actually think with my own brain.


Ok boomer.

Did you do a formal poll of “greedy old pilots”?

Not all old pilots are greedy. But the vast majority of pilots who want the age raised or removed are old. And they are 100% greedy. So yes, it is fair to say that greedy old pilots are the ones pushing for this.

Ehh…I’m not that old. I would like it to be raised. Not right away…..but maybe in about 10-15 years or so.

Newsflash: we are all greedy. The people that don't wan't the age raised are just as greedy as the ones who do want it. greedy for QOL and keeping the fast flow or upgrade, so the same thing. to oppose change because it negatively affects you has the excact same motivation as to want change because it positively affects you: greed & selfishness. normal human behavior that both sides exhibit in equal amounts.

No, but nice try.

It would only be greedy young pilots if there was a faction pushing for Age 56 (same as air traffic controllers) or something.

Just because there is no inverse call for the the age to be lowered doesn’t invalidate his point. And based on multiple comments on this thread, it would appear if there was any way that would be entertained rationally, there would be those who would celebrate it.
