So you say 
Deep down, in places we won't talk about at cocktail parties or in crew rooms, we KNOW there needs to be a mandatory retirement age to remove the fossils who lack the intellectual honesty to realize they have passed their expiration date.
Just as Threat and Error Management employs flows and checklists to "capture" mistakes, so to does a mandatory age capture the outliers. Arbitrary? Certainly. Necessary? You damn skippy.
But we all know that the threat of litigation will prevent the company from moving on this issue. It will only come from a regulatory change.
So far, the Union and the PAC have tried to stay at arm's length. The acid test will come if an NPRM surfaces to harmonize 135/91K with Part 121. My guess is the PAC will then lobby AGAINST that regulatory change and it will vindicate my decision to NOT support the PAC.
Unless and until an NPRM surfaces, it's just much ado about nothing.

NJASAP is a pretty good union , only one that I think is better is UPS's IPA , but in its present iteration I have relatively few complaints, testicular fortitude is not one of their deficits : ) VOTE FOR PEDRO : )

The leadership's willingness to: return one of the foulest excuses of a human being to a position of major importance, embrace and excuse the bullying behavior of their most visible mouthpiece, and pursue an obvious vendetta against a particular subset of the membership has forced me to withdraw my support.
I voted NO on the contract and will vote NO on this leadership's choice of the next rubber stamp E-Board member.

I happen to feel quite differently.
