"At this time, no member of Congress has introduced any bill that would again raise the retirement age for commercial pilots during the current Congress; regardless, I will keep your concerns in mind."
As if it's not being discussed.

Likely, he is one of those "all government is bad government so just let operators kill whole families because that's capitalism" types.

All the while your peers in your right seat lived off ramen noodles and were relegated to the right seat of some turboprop making literal poverty wages. The only people here who I even feel bad about are the ones who were furloughed and had to literally wait tables until they took the first class date back.

Sarcasm on both for those who missed it
I dealt with ATP mins. It was a cakewalk. If you can’t Instruct a year I don’t know what to say.

“I’m not greedy…. YOU’RE greedy!!”
Oughta change the title of the thread.
There’s prob a number of compromises and solutions out there, some mentioned on this thread. But, the greediest are also usually the loudest…. On both sides of any issue, so ya gotta wade through 5 gross yada yada posts to get to one that makes a decent statement or asks a decent question.
Brutal. It’s like watching the vaccination thread all over again. I think I’m out for a while.

As if the training bottle necks haven’t been bad enough. I can see why management at the legacies are against this.
