Call Congress if you think the retirement age should be higher. To be honest, Congress won't do anything until cities stop receiving air carrier service because of a pilot shortage.

Rumor from the local FSDO is the FAA will be asking Congress to raise the age to 68 to match the current Social Security retirement age.

Haven't seen anything about it on any of our FB pages.

As a new hire I was assigned the ERJ. I put no preference. If I wanted to transfer to the CRJ could I do so before my year anniversary? I've only been here 6 months.

Look at your standing bid and see if it has a seat lock date. It should tell when you're able to bid over.

Odds are it'll be a two year seat lock since no preference is a choice to them. I stopped fighting it and will just wait a few more months
