Answer those questions and then we can talk about motivations.

nope but nice try.

oh and “ordering” someone to answer your questions over the internet is a very silly look.

LOL! Of course you aren't going to answer the questions because your motivation becomes very clear.

'Ordering'? Yep, definitely a retired kernel.

And you're a LUV FO who was hired in late 2017/early 2018.

I went with low 50s as a high guess; your age is high 40s.

I would benefit from changing the rule to Age 68. So not only are you incorrect in your accusations against me, you are flat out wrong in your reading of other people's motivations.

Well, if that is true you are not smart. And I can guarantee that if you are against age 58 out of the goodness of your heart, you are a very small minority (of 1)..

He'll be in favor of an age change AFTER he gets in the left seat at LUV... 2028 or so?

I can't disagree with your motivation. It is the same as it is for those that waited 5 years, and now have a chance to get half of that back....

Since this has reached the level of absurdity.......

How do you feel about Biden forgiving student loans?

Still a negative there. You calling the opposing groups the same doesn't make it so.

Both groups agreed to a set of terms when they joined the profession. Now, one group wants to change those terms to benefit themselves. That is the difference.

When it got moved to 65 …. the argument…. IN FAVOR…. by ALAPA…. was that it’s not a one sided benefit because if it gets moved to a later age…. everyone Junior will ALSO get to fly till the later date. Moving in the opposite direction (younger…. Not that anyone is proposing that) would have a truly one sided benefit.

itd be interested to find an ALPA communication in support of the 60-65 jump from back in the day, replace it with 65 - 68 or whatever and put it out there just for the benefit of those who weren’t flying yet to see how ALPA “sold” it.

Not absurdity; obfuscation on your part. You're a LUV FO and will oppose any age change until you get your fourth stripe. Then you'll have a 'change of heart' and be all in favor of increasing the age limit.

Easy, I don't have one, so I am against.

hahaha, both of you are so wrong it's funny. Actually, I'm starting to think the two accounts and MyTime2025 are the same.

Anyway, I ran the numbers Age 68 or 70 or whatever would result in HIGHER earnings for me....yet I am still opposed to it.

Why? Simple, same as the student loans deal. If you agree to certain terms you should stick to them. There is a moral inferiority with those who enter into agreements and then advocate for legislation to change the terms to favor themselves. I won't do it. Others it appears, have no problem sinking to that level. At least they loudly self identify!
