All it will do is make your VEBA bigger.

Age 67 is going to happen. Period
Stop all the nonsense talk. IATA is pressuring ICAO as we speak to adopt 67. There goes ALPAs BS talking point. On top of that the majority of pilots want beaurcrats out of our profession. Only ALPA that is nothing more than a lobby group now ( hardly a union given the last TA) is opposed to 67. They don't even have the guts to conduct a 67 poll with their own membership. Dems will be blamed for every late and canceled flight if they don't get on board . Not smart politically and that's all they look at. Mayor Pete is starting to come around given the " brittle" comment. Next thing after brittle is broken. He doesn't want this on his watch if running for POTUS. 67 within next 6 months will happen if not sooner.
