Never happened but nice try. If it sucks, there's other places, but wait, inaction and complaining is what its all about, right?

Are you sure about that? Because that is exactly what happened.

The only ones? Really? What about the many who didn't necessarily want the extra 5 years to achieve said income and longevity? Now their choice is to retire at 60 as they planned with less due to the loss of income and longevity or go longer than planned.

this 100% happened. It was corrected and changed after the outrage but it happened and that’s all you need to know about this company.

And don’t worry you beautiful purple bleeding memphis loving bubba I’m working on ways out as we speak because unfortunately guys like you have let this place become so stale and industry trailing this is no longer a desirable place to work. You would need 3 home run TA’s to fix all the issues this place has and we can’t even hit a double on the first one.

This is ALPA taking the side of junior pilots against older.

Age discrimination, plain and simple.

"My" union, fighting against me, instead of in favor of me.

Despicable.
Sometimes ALPA has to pick a side. The majority of ALPA pilots don't want age 67. You do and you're going to lose. Wah. You got your extra 5 years.
Get your fishing pole and golf clubs ready and hang it up.

Trust me, You won't be happy anywhere. You are going throuh one TA, voted down, and you think FX is stale? Glad you got that crystal ball showing you that the pax carriers won't ever again face a down turn. Its all a crap shoot but it seems working for a stable company isn't enough for you. 99% of FX guys are great, you are doing the rest of us a favor by leaving.

You decide to retire at 60 is your choice.

It’s not just the TA. It’s DRIVE, it’s seeing many of the reasons you came here no longer an option (FDA), it’s toxic pilot culture, it’s a borderline unprofessional relationship between management and union, it’s the good ole boys club of Collierville mentality. It’s lack of quality bases. It’s the difficult flying we do for discount wages. It’s several months pending expense reports. It’s the hotels, it’s hearing our foreign partners aren’t growing, when in fact they are. It’s, on and on and on.

It’s not just the TA, but it certainly revealed to many what this job really is. People are leaving and yes, they are certainly happy elsewhere. Even with the loss of seniority.

Go ahead and wish them ill-will, because that’s what helps you rationalize your career choices and helps you sleep better at night. They’ll be just fine.

Why do you care? You’ve moved on! Show us on the doll where FedEx touched you.

I get it. This place has it warts. Lots of know and are actively trying to make it better. Hurling insults don’t help anyone who agrees or disagrees with you.

Bitterness is drinking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die. Try and enjoy you’re new gig.
