It looks like Andy is providing evidence that as people age they can also experience a decline in maturity and emotional control.

Save your emotions and keystrokes.
Age 67 is a done deal.

You are acting completely in your own self interest in that you want to keep your rapid rise up the seniority to keep going at that unprecedented speed.
You don't give a crap about your customers who have had flights delayed and cancelled due to pilot shortages. No, it's all about you and getting to be a lineholding WB ca before you're 50.
You're a completely selfish prick trying to hide your selfishness under the guise of safety, in spite of the safest time in aviation history occurring after the retirement age was changed to 65.
You're making the exact same argument that was made against 65. However, once the age changed to 65, it opened the door to further age increases. Well, the next (but not last) age increase to 67 is now upon us. Next stop 70.
And we can each bloviate to no end on this subject but none of this matters because the decision's already been made within the halls of Congress to increase retirement age. All that's left is a bit of turd polishing by those politicians who claim to oppose an age change. They're busy fixing punctuation and pointing blame at others for sneaking the age change into the Reauthorization Act.

Career progression/reserve etc is just the way the job works. Sometimes you move up 4000 numbers in two years and sometimes you’re stuck on reserve for a decade. “Unfair” is turning the seniority system upside down after basically a century of consistent respect and use.
I won’t be happy about it from a safety perspective but I also wouldn’t be apoplectic about the whole thing if it was contingent upon ICAO also adopting those rules. That’s the “fair” way to implement it imo. Doing this unilaterally is an insane violation of seniority.

Guess your parents forgot to give you the talk that life isn’t fair, not everyone wins a trophy.
Also the lesson that people think with their wallet and their best interest and not yours. You might get lucky and get grouped in with something that benefits you but don’t count on it.
