How about updating your profile? I'm trying to get a feel for your credentials, and your current profile isn't hacking it.

How about using the frickin' search function?

Um, OK. Your perspective on my efforts.
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.

Actually I hope when you correspond with politicians you stress the point "they knew the rules when they signed on". I think that's the best argument you got going and should impress all those over 60 Senators and Congressmen.

That is funny!

No need for that. I'm not sure what to put in the search function.

Let me try again. All your profile refers to is a military staff background...yet you speak out on airline subjects. I don't think these subjects are the norm for Air Staff discussions (but I may be wrong...much has happened since I retired).

What airline background do you have?

Simple question...can't be that hard to answer.

And the ALPA poll (or your opinion) means only this: "You old highly-experienced pilots move out and let me move up", and nothing else. But I would like each of you who feel that way to look one of us in the eye and promise that when you reach age 60 you will immediately resign!!! Each and every one of you who opposes the change now knows that the law will change a long time before you reach that age, but of course that will be fine as long as a few more hundred of us get off top of the seniority lists. Now look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that the real reason is "safety". You all need to be ashamed of yourselves.

And the people who voted for the change in the ALPA poll means only this :" Screw you guys out on the street and in the right seat. I've got mine." I can make that promise. I have no intention on working till 65, only to die at 67. And if I win the lottery, I'll quit tomorrow and buy a plane.

You are the one's that should be ashamed.

How eloquent!

I plan on attending the next event, in 22 years when I'm 59 1/2. Isn't that how it works?

Never ceases to amaze me how people insist on trying to change age 60 to their benefit, while at the same time screwing the career expectations of others. I sure hope age 60 stays for a number of reasons, but one in particular is the financial impact that keeping the higher paid folks around will have on the industry. You guys don't deserve anything more than the forty somethings and thirty somethings behind you....So stop your crying, plenty of 135 flying to be done!

ALPA got this one right!
