"Rumor" also has it they are going to raise the retirement age to 67 and not allow any two crew members over 65 to crew the same aircraft.

I think he was just kidding. Also, my post was not meant to slam the over 60 guys. I have simply heard that the new rules force the company to scramble a bit at times. I am all for anything that makes the company sweat so long as it doesn't screw a pilot.

Any thoughts as to why there aren't additional openings reflected across the 737 BES when there are something like 12 more airframes being delivered during this bid's timeframe? They sure try hard to make these bids look flat...

I would guess it has something to do with the COLAs ending and those pilots being taken into account.
