What is “lots”? A handful? Dozens? Hundreds?

What is “senior CA’s” in this context? Top 10% of WB CAs? Top 30% of WB CAs?

These seem like very small numbers to me, no matter which way I look at it. And for those small numbers of CAs, most will only be making that much for the verrrry tail end of their careers, which doesn’t exactly matter much in terms of retirement.

Again are we not comparing senior Captains to Senior Captains from different eras?

Ok....how many? I find it strange that you claim numbers in round dollar figures but fail to claim numbers in how many pilots are making that much.

Did they poll the pilots on this? NO of course not. Just make up BS to feed to the sheep.

Probably the dumbest thing ALPA has done. UAL wants to expand and grow along with other airlines and ALPA is putting up a roadblock to mainly international expansion. Good thing these geniuses are not managing the airlines. But I digress irregardless of ALPA passing a worthless resolution the FAA / ICAO and Congess will increase the age because the traveling public will demand it. It's the only option that will fix the current mess overnight

ALPA has done plenty to de- value pilot labor. Lets Starr at not reinstating a pension plan. That one thing lone has taken millions out of pilots pockets. They won't even talk about it. I wonder often what side are these guys on?

Default Increase retirement age to 68

Only way to allow the growth plan to be realized and shore up the pilot pipe line. The airlines are leaving massive amounts of revenue sitting at the gates trying to get to their destination. ALPA lead or get out of the way. It's not like those senior WB Captains won't continue to pay dues. More pilots = more dues. But then again pilots are weak at basic math ( 63K 401K vs 130K lifetime pension what has more value ? ). This is my point. ALPA can scream.all they want but the vast majority of pilots want the retirement age lifted to meet demand.

A vote would be nice. Get a sense of the numbers. Go from there.
