The answer is easy. As to the question about 600,000 lots of senior CA’s are making that and if you drop the number to 500,000 the number goes way up including narrow body captains. The original question was a comparison of widebody Captain pay.

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. |

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.
