Congrats to the winner.

Sincerely hope he does a great job and proves us CC voters wrong.

I think CC is wrong but carry on anyways.

No, the change was to get 100 percent of the benefits at 60 instead of being forced to wait until 65 to get 100 percent. Reading comprehension!

Maybe it's your lack of participation as a group that causes you to be lead around instead of leading the pack. All you have to do is look at the participation rate in the latest #171 Captian election - speaks volumes.

That would have come in handy if they put the age change up for a vote, having the majority of younger guys against it AND being powerless to stop it made it that much more insulting.

I wrote letters, called my senator and congressman, and sought one of them out at a public event to voice my opinion. Complete waste of time because ALPA was on a mission to "make the guys whole who lost their retirements."

I like the way you guys always blame it on ALPA - you do know who ALPA is and who it represents. In this case participation does make you a winner.

Do you have a smoking gun that supports your claim that ALPA sold out the majority to protect a few?

It wasn't a "few" by a long shot. Were you around for the polling? Did you get a vote?
