The sad part of the age 60 debacle is how our individual right to extend our careers (and affect a collective loss in seat movement to our junior members) has been a one way windfall to the company and (as best as I can tell) we are not getting any credit for it during negotiations.
The money saved by Fedex from every pilot that works after age 60 has got to be HUGE. Their response, give us even more back in a watered down retirement benefit. We should be pounding this fact every time this "giveback" is even broached. We should be getting this money back. If we are going to work longer and collect less in retirement, how about putting the savings in my wallet, NOW

I understand what you're saying. And agree with the concept.
However, if we demand being paid now for saving the company money by working longer...Then, don't you think the company's response would be something like, "Great idea. But we'll need to change the normal retirement age to 65, to guarantee the savings."

From what I was told, up to this point it's been guys with 757 type and time in type or people who interviewed last round but the music stopped before they got to dance. Real "off the street" hiring is just beginning this month and next. Maybe someone else has some better intel?
Currently fly the 757 and have been starring at my phone non stop waiting for it to ring for the last month. I'd go wherever they want me to go. Good luck to all.

On the app there is now options for most GA single engine piston aircraft ie: 152, 172 etc.. Do they really want someone to list all of these planes separate? I won't be home for a month and don't have my log books with that info in it.

IMO, you could complete the application with the GA totals you have on hand, and submit the application. Once you get home, update your app with the total time broken down per type.

This is the Biggest whiskey tango foxtrot! Why do airlines care what type of single engine I flew 15 years ago or even what type of multi piston I instructed in or flew freight in 15 years ago..... WHY cant they be satisfied with the total time in a single or multi piston. I understand pic and sic in a turbo prop or jet but PISTON.... I also dont know how many night or day landings I had in said pistons as well... These APPS are getting ridiculous.
