The Master seniority list is revised every July 1st. I think the Big Dick Cotton turned 60 last Aug.

Also, I had a friend turn 60 last Jan. The co. told him he could go on personal Leave of Absence for up to 90 days. Per section 13 of the contract, you can apply for additional 90 day extentions for up to 24 months. During this period, you get no pay and no pension and your longevity stops after 60 days. Let's see, do we know anybody dumb enough to do this just so he can fly till he dies? I mean, other than George?

You guys also know that the company has not intention of training them back in the Captain position. With that being true a LOA would probably be a foolish move.

My mention of a recall is not only aimed at the age 60 thing. Regardless of what the issue is, if OUR ELECTED leadership (not dictatorship) is not a voice for the pilot group, then you and I have no real voice. As FreightDoggyDog said this is the second major issue where the MEC knew better than the membership. A Union is a collective voice for us, or at least that is the intent.
But at least I'm not quitting just because I'm not getting my way. A boy would take his toys home, I'm staying put.
Thank you for your consideration and hope you have a lovely day.

If anyone who was there last night and is awake now can summarize what went down, those of us unable to make it would appreciate it. Thanks...
