they got their extra few years. Remember the “lost decade” (age 65) yeah, they have 5 extra years now, they don’t need another 2. Sorry. I said what I said.

Enough Delta pilot. For the sake of others, quit enforcing stereotypes.

My apologies for that post. Gave him some time off.

Sadly, there is always the 0.1%. The other 99.9% of us are all pulling for y'all, and hope for nothing but the best for your pilot group.

thank you! appreciate you and Rick for putting the few apparent bullies in the corner for a bit. That negativity is just not needed at the moment

ALPA just adopted a new strategic plan at the BOD in Chicago and they resoundingly approved the current stance of no changes to the Age 65 rule.

I'd think that person would be against age 67 since the mandatory retirements are driving a significant portion of the legacy airline hiring for the time being.

But it's not the end of the airline.

Strap in. Defend your contract the best you can.

Best of luck guys

I watched this happen at Braniff, Eastern, Pan Am, Midway, and ATA. If you are somewhat Junior, take anything you can get. Cargo carriers are not as adversely effected as the passenger carriers. I wish you all the very best your ALPA brother, L

Anything being mentioned yet on Work Rule Changes, Loss of Vacation, Compensation Adjustments, more staffing cutbacks, etc.
I got whacked seriously many years ago in a Chapter 11 which later became a Seven.

I wish everyone at Spirit the very best!
I don't wish this type event on anyone!

no, no mention of any work rule changes. As a matter of fact, they specifically mentioned that no changes would be made to pay or benefits due to this filing.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what they stated. Quite the opposite actually, I fully expect them to seek changes eventually. I would love to be wrong.
