As of right now, it stops being yours at 65. Any lobbying to change the rules is quite literally taking money from everyone else to redistribute to your own pockets. Especially because you are doing it on the guise of "you guys didn't restore my retirement" and "it's not fair you all are upgrading after a year."
Also, I wasn't "handed" anything. You know nothing of my background.

Good day.
Without us there wouldn't be an airline. Read the room muchacho. De nada.

We had 900ish jets pre-pandemic, with new deliveries set to 4% growth to match GDP growth. Covid caused a freeze in hiring while retiring thousands earlier than the age 65 timeline. We deferred deliveries, we parked jets that took years to reactivate. Is it any suprise that in 2022-2023 we have hired 2000+/yr? Clearly we are making up for lost years to get where we should have been, and avert losing marketshare. We've tried to replace the pilot retirments, reactivate jets, accelerate new orders to restore our fleet... that puts us to the 17k-18k pilot headcount. The historic movement won't continue for long. We're rapidly approaching hiring for attrition and 3-5% annual growth. You eliminate the attrition, nearly all this movement stops. If the economy takes a dive, age 67 could actually put the group in an overstaffed scenario, causing reverse movement in seniority up to and including furloughs.
I get why you're selling the movement of the last 2 years.. but there is no reason to believe anything like that will happen over the next 2 years, ESPECIALLY with age 67.

Lol. I'm not going to argue any more with someone whose whole goal here is a narcicistic pursuit to run up points on the internet. I refuse to participate in your fantasy of importancy.
Good day.
