Absolutely comical comment. We aren’t even adequately staffed today let alone any growth at all. Sure the hiring numbers will come down. Then kick the can down the road a year and suddenly our hair is on fire and we are back to talking about 500+ retiring a year. It’s not going to be this dramatic. 60-65 was a totally different ballgame than the current scenario of 65-67. We would need age 67 + economic slowdown causing lack of travel to really make the music stop. And again that would be on borrowed time and you snap your fingers we are back to where we are today. That’s even assuming a high % go to 67 as an active pilot in the line. When I was hired very early 2020, alpa said retirement avg was still a couple years shy of 65 anyways. Then throw in some added disability, how much will this age 67 even impact?
Also in case you didn't notice global economics are slowing down.
Management is going to buy time with small AEs until things are more certain. They definitely didn't decide to do it because we want it, it just benefits them now.

Oh please. Do you really think they're going to stop at 67? If it goes through, in 2 years these same people will all be calling us "ageist" again and clamoring for 70 or no limit at all. Greed knows no bounds.

the “GREED!” folks need to step out of their shoes and realize taking the anti POV is also based in greed. It’s like the “so you think you’re better than me” types not realizing they are saying they are in fact better when they try to spout that nonsense.

At least RG is back to “save” the day once more.

How do prefer being told you’re no longer capable of performing your job safely? What testing and observations do you expect to be subjected to? Is this the purpose of the flight deck cameras?

Age 67 is all about greed.

So, did an AE post this weekend or not?
I feel like a good nugget from BS was missed. Apparently he said on SkyNet that he is literally planning monthly AEs with a similar cadence of Mid month posting and end of month awards for training in two months.
Discuss.

Do you understand how seniority progression works? Or are you conveniently ignoring the fact that someone had to vacate the seat you have now for you to occupy it? But sure, it wasn't greed when you took it but NOW it's totally greed because it's someone else's turn...
