Right?! I'm generally opposed to increasing the mandatory retirement age...until I hear or read such crap. At this point I would vote 'present'.

Exactly right..

That post was a serious case of psychological transference I’m guessing. And I’m still a no vote but wow.

Clay Lacy did exactly that at UAL to steal a few more years as number one on the seniority list.

This thread sucks. I’m baffled you folks don’t wanna vote to gain a (supposed) true feel for what the group wants to do regarding age limit change.

Why vote For anything then, right? I mean, isn’t that where we are going?

Why even have a TA process, review, or bickering session about what is and isn’t in our forthcoming AIP? Just let the MEC approve it.

Why have elections, because you know, other people know better.

And yes, no one knows the other pilots personal concerns, conditions, health, financial status or otherwise, nor should they, right? Or screw it, let’s just eliminate the rest of privacy now too because, someone else knows better. Pathetic.

You vote for things when YOU decide (or at least have control over) the outcome. ALPAs position is alrwady to oppose any increase in the mandatory retirement age...and nobody else gives a rats ass what we think or how we vote. IMO a vote would have no material effect on the outcome. The only impact it MAY have is to change the ALPA position if a majority voted in favor of an increase.

What effect do you think a vote would have?

Everyone has their own ideas about this, and post gross generalizations in both directions. Not everyone who is flying 121 at 65 has had the golden goose at there door for decades. Nor has every younger pilot experienced the lost decade.

nope but pretty much everyone knows that 65 is quitting time at 121, and no matter what your life path to 65 was, you better have a plan besides hoping to get some overtime at someone else's expense.
