Are you seriously referring to military service as an entitlement? Did you not understand the word "service". Un effing believable that such ignorance could exist in a human being.

HuggyU2

Can you elaborate on what you're referring to?

Don't feet the troll rp.

I agree, entitlements should be shicanned. Retirement on the other hand is an earned benefit. Probably the most hard earned of any....

You know you may think you are funny but it's people who think like that who caused people like me to vote for Trump.

You voted for Trump? Here's your sign. Enjoy the furlough.

MasterOfPuppets

I would love to fly a 4 day with you. Im sure it would be a good time. Interesting beer talk for sure.

If I make it through the furlough Ill most likely be bumped back to the 737 so Ill try to get DEN and if you can hold on to your CA seat well try and make it work.

As a guy who has been furloughed twice by the big U ....I am not sure this is even funny.

Furloughs suck. I think age 67 will be more of a factor then Trump, but then again what do I know?

Shouldn't you update your position to 757? I think we had this discussion earlier when you changed it to 777 prematurely?

I must disagree with this vehemently. Government paid retirements are slowly choking this country whether it be teachers, police, bureaucrats, or military retirees. It has nothing to do with whether the people deserve said retirements; it has to do with whether or not the nation wrote a blank check they can't cash and reality needs to be faced at some point. The good news is the answer does not require a wholesale abandonment of pensions, but it does require some pain on the part of taxpayers as well as pensioners. If we are incredibly lucky the population which is slowly shifting in demographics towards greater diversification may ultimately allow an increase in immigration and then we might have a chance of growing out of the problem otherwise I think Pennsylvania's recent solution may be a harbinger of what is to come. The whole concept of working for 20 years and then getting a check from society for the rest of your life was a bad idea to begin with and smacks of communist utopianism. In what reality should society pay people not to work.
