Top O' the morning. It's a fine day. BACK THE PAC [MOD EDIT]

FAA Authorization Bill Advances With More ATC Staff & No Raise To Pilot Retirement Age

BRAVO! GK and BE are probably seething and foaming at the mouth over this. I could not be happier.

 

I get the GK, who is BE?

 

A former chief pilot turned 787 CA in ORD.

 

Millions of Americans use airline credit cards every day to accumulate points and earn rewards that allow them to travel, explore and create new memories. The Durbin-Marshall Credit Card Competition bill could eliminate these popular credit cards and cost travelers their points.

I'm happy that the group circumventing our Union for their own benefit was defeated I'm sure they will be back again like a chronic kneck pain. Does the lawsuit against alpa still stand or is that done as well?
I point out the Bill above that if it passes the airlines will be in a world of hurt. So far, it's stalled and let's hope it stays that way.
just shows you that both parties are not our friends

 

Hey Andy... Enjoy your retirement in January!! I'll just hang around another 10 years and featherbed. TOLD YA>

Age 67

 

Funny, I back the PAC and was against raising the age, but this post still makes you look like an arse. Congratulations to us and please learn some humility.

 

Sure does. Turns out that there are/were jerks on both sides of the issue.

 

Huge arse.

 

Ol' RickAIR... the smart guy who was SO wrong about AGE 67 decided that the ALPA email from President Ambrosi was "too partisan". He edited it out of my post. Well Ricky Bobby, Ambrosi's words may be "partisan". But they are true. THe Dems do have our backs. Proven 100% by their actions. Sorry you can't accept reality.

From ALPA National President:

Because of your activism—and support for ALPA-PAC—we have made this union a power player in Washington, D.C. Senior leaders in Congress like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell, Senate Aviation Subcommittee Chair Tammy Duckworth, and House Transportation and Infrastructure Ranking Member Rick Larsen all went to the mat for us. They had our backs and did not waiver in their support for ALPA. Nor did our brothers and sisters in the broader labor community. We stood in solidarity with the AFL-CIO and successfully advocated for:

• No reductions in first officer qualifications.
• Maintaining the pilot retirement age.
