Thank you for this. I’m square in the middle of this argument age wise. Why in the world some of the folks on here keep jousting with NB, JB and BR is beyond me. They bring some great points to many threads on APC but this topic is dead and their opinion is just that. No amount arguing will change anyone’s mind. You all are smart people but the lack of emotional intelligence in arguing with these guys over and over has me wondering. Stop feeding the monkey. Unless you crave the crazy.
The horse is D E A D. Why the discussion continues is beyond me.
I was hired in 2000, furloughed in 2002. Brought back in 2005, furloughed again in 2005. I could not have been hired at a worse time in this industry and my GAS meter ran out a long time ago. All this whining about 67 is beyond ridiculous. 100% out of my control. Retire whenever you want. I’ll be fine and so will everyone else.

If Age 67 happens, will that in turn give pilots 24 more months to suckle the disability tit if we go out due to loss of medical, therefore saving us 2 years of having to pull from our own retirement accounts?

I stopped reading at "From ALPA". There has never been a more greedy, self serving corporation, filled with swamp dwellers, trough drinkers, and self dealers. They have zero credibility. Their opinion follows the money.
Once 67 passing becomes obvious, they'll jump on board and say it was their idea all along, just like the did last time.

I don't get the rabid opposition to this. Unless you had a personal hard stop at 65 or haven't been hired yet, age 67 simply gives all pilots the opportunity to work longer.

I'm genuinely curious, at what point in a pilot's career does it switch from good stagnation to bad stagnation? Does this only benefit current WBAs and hurt everybody else? Why?

I don’t get the failure to understand. Have you read anything anywhere? Do you really not understand? I’m not saying you have to agree with ANY position…but not to understand it? Have you had actual conversation with opponents to 67 and still think “it simply gives everyone a chance to work longer”?
I absolutely understand Nick and 007’s position. I just don’t agree with it. And if you don’t already understand that not everyone WANTS to work until 65, nor stall their seniority progression out for two years, nor see their seniority peak two years later than it otherwise would, nor leave on their original timeline with two years’ worth worse seniority - I honestly don’t think you will ever understand. I guess that’s why this horse is pulp.

You’re in the current generation, no? You are a pilot at Delta after all. Congratulations on your fortunate career luck with all this quick movement.
