You also had your whole career to earn. 2 more yrs making top dollar is only getting you closer to the grave and still won’t be enough money for the lifestyle.

Oh and btw…contract leverage is gone for 2 yrs.

Why do you hate freedom and support discrimination?

Once upon a time, there was a campground. The best spots were near the water. The weather was pleasant and the food was excellent. Used to be the longest a person could stay there was a year, but then some stayed for five and demanded a special right to remain there for seven years.

This super-sized sense of entitlement annoyed the others and the sheer enormity of their luxury RV's was much envied. The owners never accounted for their pull-outs when figuring their floor space. None the less, they mostly *****ed and complained about theirs being too small. When times got tough and the camp ground shrank, some of the senior campers wanted to sell off the belongings of the soon-to-be homeless to add a helipad. Helipads are nice, but to some, this seemed a bit greedy.

You might say that the rest were not happy campers.

Maybe because the age 65 rule is legal discrimination.

Some people really struggle with legal and illegal discrimination. Also, some people have an overinflated concept of freedom.

I can't believe pilots actually want to keep working till 65, much less to 67. I'd say some very poor financial decisions have been made or a couple of divorces (or they just love to fly). I'm thankful I don't have to work that long; I don't think I could do it.

If someone were to finish training on a new airplane on the 28th of a month, when does the new pay rate show up on the paystub?

Asking for a friend’s wife…..

I believe the first paycheck that would reflect the new rate would be the end of month check the following month. So July 28th would mean august 31st check. September 15th (when the august pay is finalized) would be the first PAS that would have it. (To my knowledge the rate itself is on the PAS not the paystub)
