It's over, bud. Better commit to that timeshare in Florida and take your meds, because it will be a long road of no flying ahead for you.
Good news is you can still troll this forum and waste money on LEPF fundraising, so all is not lost.

That's sounds a bit hyperbolic.... or lacking objectivity based on past "Black Swan" events.

Exactly my point, thanks for making it. There is a big difference between extending the age by 2 years and losing your pension due to your company going bankrupt. The age extension would be a blip(some it helps, some its hinders) a banrkutcy wiping out ALL QOL, ensuing 48% paycuts anf loss of pension would certainly be closer to the definition "ruining a career.
Or are they both the same to you?

I’m also not jealous people are here holding Captain at 25 years old. Good for them.
All you want is to take advantage of someone else because it happened to you and feel entitled to do so. Take that mentality and go….I intend to leave the pilot group better than I found it.

That was 20 years ago…the people that really got spanked are long gone. I was stuck at a regionals for 15 years during the lost decade. That was 15 years of virtually no retirement savings. I’m not prancing around in a pout.

Long gone? More hyperbole, I'm a few years gone so this won't affect me, but...... B-Scale(4 3/4 years)?.... check. Bankruptycy...check. Decimitated QOL.... check. Loss of DB?...check. 46% pay cut?.... check. PBS bidding that cost 20% efficiency?.... check. Age 60>65 ...check.
Sorry to tell you....I left the pilot group not only better...but way better off than I found it. My entry into this "discussion" was simply trying to put things in perspective. 2 years won't "extensively harm or damage" a career. My definition is it will be a "blip" . It definitely wont make it shi**tier, unless you think it is shi**y now. If one does(legacy pilot), then I certainly question their perspective.
But everyone is entitled to their perspective. At least this is my perspective that I put forth to my legacy pilot kids, 1 of which was a 2 year capt(so not envious) .... proud of their good fortune would be closer to my thoughts.

MF response.
The reporters aren't reporting correctly
Age 67 was never going to come up for a vote this session
What they haven't reported is wp349 had moved on to the Air Navigation Council
good grief
