Oh I am. Almost off first year pay. Going to have to increase my PAC contribution.

Something, something horseshoes and hand grenades…

Do you have a source for this?

It’s on the age 67 book face as a report from their lobbyists. They say it’s over.

I bet contributions will dry up, and a few guys are going to be on the hook for a lot of lobbyist and legal bills.

it’s hilarious that their lobbyist has been promising them they’ll win and leading them on the whole time.

who was actually getting lobbied? Lawmakers…or LEPF?

And I thought my Sunday night couldn’t get any better. Is this all but confirmed? I can only seem to find Facebook posts to go off saying 67 has been killed.

If this doesn’t get resolved by May 10th it could go to a Continuing Resolution until Sep 30th. If that happens, due to the pending election, automatic CR until after the new Congress and President get sworn in… . Not a done deal until the President signs it… . There seems to be some big issues to resolve and not much time left to do it. The easy answer is to kick it to next year with a CR then everyone can get back on the campaign trail… .

link to the full bill if anyone is curious. Age 67 appears to be dead!

So the “majority” that wanted 67 got shot down by the “minority” of one guy and his own selfish desires to avoid security. Isn’t that ironic that you guys are upset about getting rolled by a smaller groups special interest. Shakespeare-esque if this is the end.

I lost any appetite to support age increases after witnessing a super senior Captain hired in the 90s (and never furloughed) with a straight face tell their some junior FOs that furlough fears over the age increase and stagnation were overblown because furloughs are no big deal- the senior guys donate a ton of money through ALPA and take care of all the pilots out on furlough so they and their families don't have to worry about anything while they're out, and how ALPA even pays their mortgages if they're in danger of losing their house so it was okay to increase the age a couple more years because even the new hires "will be taken care of."
