Not talking about giving up anything already in place just adding another bucket of cash. Who's not for that?
Pensions are for people who can’t handle their own money or those within a few years of retirement who would get a fully funded pension on the backs of the rest of us.

Not my fault if people go out and spend that theoretical raise on a boat. I won’t vote for something that would handicap my own retirement to help people too irresponsible to save their own money. Anyone in this industry at a legacy struggling to retire these days has done it to themselves.
No one is looking out for my retirement except for me. I’m just returning the favor.

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.
Keep fighting the good fight via senseless APC posts, you’re making a difference!

Age 67? IATA wants age mandate GONE
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) representing almost 300 carriers around the world has submitted a paper to the ICAO General Assembly which suggests removing the age limit for pilots. Next September in Montreal, ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) will hold its General Assembly, a plenary meeting occurring every three years where all Member States gather to discuss and vote on new provisions to regulate international commercial aviation.
“With demand for air travel anticipated to return to [pre-pandemic] traffic levels in 2023, and then continue on an upward growth path, the demand for commercial pilots is expected to exceed supply,” says the IATA paper as reported by Flightglobal.
“It is therefore timely to revisit legacy age limitation requirements to ensure that they remain fit for purpose, do not represent an unjustified barrier to employment for these critical workers and do [not] constitute de facto age discrimination.”
According to a document published by EASA (European Aviation and Space Agency), Canada, New Zealand, and Australia do not have any age limits for pilots, Japan has increased the mandatory retirement age to 68, while European countries, as well as the United States, have maintained their age limit at 60, although some E.U. member states have filed for

Well, it's been 4 months since Lindsay and his republican cosponsors introduced the age 67 legislation to try and bail out the Airlines, and like I said... It hasn't even made it out of committee. Now with the Dems controlling the Senate for at least TWO MORE YEARS 🤙🏼🤙🏼,
age 67 is dead. Enjoy and remember.....
