The same way you can be against legalizing heroin and be a libertarian.
Not everyone lets a single political party define all of their views.

So ask yourself, how can you be a viable member of a Union and be a Republican? Answer - you can't. Vote your conscience in all things - are you a Republican or a Democrat? Don't waste time in telling me how you support the idiot in the White House or whatever - what are your beliefs about unions and this rule? What party do you support? Do they support you?

Dear lord, I'm just beginning an airline career and I would like you to force everybody to retire on their 60th birthday, however, one month before mine, I would like you to cause a change in the regs to 65 so I can stay. Thank you, Amen....your pal.. George. (p.s., I'll be needing some more help when I'm 64 years and 11 months)

Protecting seniority rights?
The current age 60 S/O's have no seniority rights, other than to the back seat.
Mr Webb is advocating giving them new rights! Not protecting their rights.
Let your reps know what you think!

George, you ignorant slut!!
Why then don't they exercise those rights?
For the same reason you won't be allowed to after the rules are changed, unless you are given new rights.
By the way, less than 40 of the retreads are senior to me. That's not counting you. Yet!

They don't exercise those rights because the "Regulated Age is 60", the "Regulated Age" will soon be 65 and then there is no longer any restriction.
