Lavender, You will never touch the Holy Grail of the industry. WIDE BODY CAPTAIN. Age 60, 65, 165. NEVER you can't. And by the way all those easy trips you fly with your other FREELOADING buddies, will be gone if the age ever changes. Can't have 2 over 60 in the same CP. And that bad back of yours wont get you through the 2nd class medical. Like JL said we don't need anymore part-time FOs around FDX Hang up your stripes!!! Go sell real estate to the CULT. Or maybe used cars, that pic of you on your web site definitely looks like the face of a used car salesman.

Behold, the real issue is blatant age discrimination. Your comment is deplorable, Please apologize. |
How about letting passengers look up front to see grandpa at the controls and let them decide if they still want to go!
First it's 65, then it'll be 67, and so on, and so on..........:rolleyes: |

Just received this morning. Maybe we will see a change to the status quo:
By John Schmeltzer Tribune staff reporter Published October 19, 2006 ..."The airline industry survived because of the concessions pilots and other workers made," said Prater, who lives in southern Illinois and flies out of Newark Liberty International Airport. "Now it is time for us to see a tangible return on these bitter investments." He also could lead a change in the group's official opposition to raising the retirement age from 60 years old. The rule was imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration in 1959. Legislation to overturn the age limit is pending in Congress. Prater wants the FAA to follow the lead of the International Civil Aviation Authority and adopt a retirement age of 65. Copyright c 2006, Chicago Tribune Things are happening fast. |

You can say goodbye to the seniority list if this legislation is passed. But then again, you guys don't care because you're already senior enough to screw everyone below you.:rolleyes: Here's two words for ya: play golf. |

You sure do seem mighty threatened by this. Your hostility suggests you realize your rants on message boards can't keep change from happening.
The pro-change crowd is well organized and gets the word out to our politicians. I am merely trying to rally the MAJORITY of pilots to rebut the pro change crowd. I may not stop this from changing, but at least I'll have put forth my best effort to stop it. It sounds like you'd prefer that I sit silently on the sidelines. I will vote Democrat. How about you? |
