You have to change the UPA language. A council resolution would be a good start. Are you up for it, or are you just a blowhard?

Who are you talking to? Quoting the post you're responding to would help.

That's not a small group. It's the largest group of people on LTD at any given time. And any increase in LTD premiums will be borne by the people paying them, not the people on LTD.

If 67 passes, I’ll submit it. Let’s see if the 67 crowd has an excuse why they wouldn’t want that.

How much does you think our premiums will increase? Maybe the R&I committee has already done thr rough math. Maybe a PDR?

So, who is the "GK" guy? It seems like his buddies on the MEC are the ones UAL pilots should be asking about this issue.

I mean, I don't work at UAL.
But UALPA has quite a few votes within ALPA national.

Honest to goodness, how can it be that no UALPA rep has been forced to go on record about Age 67?
Do you guys vet your reps?

Especially after the Tumi TA from a group of UALPA reps could have tanked the industry and cost us each easily six figures, and a ton of QOL?
