Complete BS. Boomer pilots didn't hold congressional seats and vote to do anything to anyone else. They did their jobs and flew until mandatory retirement, if medically able, just like every pilot before them. If you want to place blame, place it with the politicians who write the laws.

Plenty of "get out of my way, old man. I want what's yours!" here.
Not a single instance of "We're going to fix this, so future generations won't suffer the same fate, even though I'll personally never see it."
You'd be amazed how much support you'd get from GenX for that attitude.

I'm Gen X. Probably got hit the worst. 9-11, 08 crash, and 65 rule. Not whining here, I just pivoted and made the best of it.

see? Isn’t that a grand bargain. Everyone’s happy now, right? If you want to continue to exercise your mental faculties, hop on over to DAL or FedEx or UAL or wherever you aren’t and keep right on flying. Isn’t that what it’s all about, meat in seats?
