If cheap shots were gold, you’d be rich. But here you are again, sobbing like a p…y. Sit back superhero. Make the wheels go up & down. Let bosses handle it.

 

They aren’t wrong….What exactly are you trying to articulate?

 

They have a case. Get a new hearing aid.

They don’t have a case. The union is under no obligation to represent every fringe group of pilots in its union. Whats next, commuters suing the union because it’s not campaigning aggressively enough to get them positive space commutes?

The legality of the age restriction has been validated by the courts numerous times. This is simply a money grubbing group of elderly pilots who can’t face the fact that they are getting old and aren’t as good as they used to be. They are arguing against biology (poorly, I might add) and proving their cognitive decline with their unhinged rants on social media.

Ironically, what these LEPF pilots probably need most is to retire, stop basing their perceived value on their job and the number of millions in their bank account, and spend time with their family, friends, and community members.

If it’s such a dead appeal, why all the fuss? EEOC judgements for wrongful dismissal on basis of longevity, age have prevailed before. As tech advances make aircraft operations easier to manage, proficiency of individual crewmembers for 2 pilot cockpits is assured via qualification standards more than few 65 yo’s exceed. What motivation any of them may have to keep their job when they could easily retire, irrelevant.

 

The same arbitrary age limits that these sh@#%@gs were silent on when they were moving up the seniority list as those ahead of them retired with dignity and the respect of their peers? Never heard a peep from these DB's until they were in the left seat of a widebody and staring at their own retirement coming up. Now all of a sudden, it's age discrimination and the industry will collapse without them. Yeah, F them!

 

No argument. I believe you. Except for the dignity & respect part. That died with Matlock.

 

Complains about cheap shots and then immediately makes cheap shots…

Failure to represent has been tried and has failed numerous times. The real sticking point is that the retirement age is a law passed by congress and it is further backed the bona fide occupational qualification carve out in the age discrimination employment act. It also has precedent from the other failed attempts which makes it a very flimsy case especially as most of the members oppose it.
You can send more money if you want though.

 

and why would I do that?

 

So you could buy the streaming rights to Matlock?
