ALPA's betrayal on age 60
This is John McCains answer to a question about age 60 and alpa. This shows how blatantly false Praders "its gonna change anyway attitude" was when in reality if alpa had held the position that the majority of its members wanted this wouldn't even be a concern.
Don't take this from Prader he is lining his pockets at your expense, stand up.. RECALL PRADER HIS TREACHORY DESERVES NO LESS.

Senator McCain on ALPA and 65/60 Legislation.
A correspondent relates this exchange in a New Hampshire campaign event:
Last Friday I had the opportunity to partake in a Town Hall Meeting in New Hampshire with Senator McCain. Sen. McCain spoke at length about veterans' issues; so in the Q&A portion I asked about the Age 60 issues as it pertains to the denial of veterans' rights. His answer was honest and to the point. It was repeated three times. The age change will not happen until ALPA is willing to let it happen. In the final analysis that may or may not be the end result, but it was [Senator McCain's] honest opinion and reflects [ALPA's] financial power within the Congress.
[EdComment: "He repeated it three times." If there is anyone out there that still doubts ALPA's power in the Congress, their head(s) are either in the sand -- or outer space. No sooner did the "pro-change" forces (APAAD, SWAPA, S'West) join with ALPA in the ARC panel to support "prospective only," than ALPA turned and bit them in their collective "rears." -- Or was that the original plan? -- In any event, see one of the results immediately below. ]

I don't think Nightrider knows what he is talking about. You want to believe McCain, don't you? I'd read some ALPA stuff on the progress of the age rules. ALPA is reacting to PILOTS at ALPA that were polled as to their options and wants. ALPA leadership is doing what they are told by the members. Is that bad?

The results of the poll I participated in 2005 were against changing the retirement age. Not sure what's going on now.
