but the training bypass is there to help the company if they so choose to use it, and exists entirely at the company’s discretion. not because foreign governments won’t let you fly to their country. (Which, as it stands currently, you are not pay protected for.)

I advocated for a PWA work around or LOA when age 67 reared it's head. If the MEC has not formulated a battle plan previously, shame on them.
if we don’t do anything the company will just not pay 65+ pilots to fly trips they are unqualified for. If a 65 year old can’t hold trips they are qualified to fly they are not pay protected. They can play games too. We may hold some cards, but it’s by no means a straight flush.

hopefully we can reach an agreement should 67 pass and I expect ALPA and management have been working on this behind the scenes. but I don’t expect anything like what JB wants to happen without significant gives by ALPA.

Guys, we need to stop fighting each other..I kinda agree with JB here. If 67 happens and those pilots can't stay on their WB due to ICAO rules I would want ALPA to fight for them and get as much money from the company as possible. The company is our enemy, not fellow pilots. Let them have their money, it doesn't take anything from the rest of us.

Here is another option, if he's not indeed "Disabled", and he doesn't want to go back to NB at NB rates, how about just retire? Honestly, no one even considers that retirement is an option.

Just our seniority and 2 years of no movement.

If the company wants to be a charity, sure. But I'm not giving anything up for this. Not one penny. Age 67 is already a contractual concession to 90% of us

Unless you don't consider profit sharing taking something?


The easy answer is this. Up until ICAO changes the age to match what the US has, you get paid what you can fly. If you are on the 350 and can hold all domestic, then you can get a full month. Bid reserve? The guarantee matches the domestic trip mix percentage or what you actually fly.

And have the option of an immediate VD for any age 65 plus pilot. This will allow the ones who believe there is a pilot shortage to bid into a category that has a lot of domestic flying to help alleaviate the problem they claim is the reason they should be able to fly into their golden years.

Seems simple enough. The only thing we might need to negotiate for a potential shenanigan the company could utilize. We should try and limit the company’s ability to bypass training on WB pilots choosing to bid NB. They could choose to trap a pilot in a category that doesn’t allow them to work a full schedule.

Well, there’s a conversion window to every AE.

training bypasses for longer than that conversion window are already contractual.
