Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My eyes are full of tears for all you guys approaching 60 or beyond. It's so sad to hear that your financial situation is, and has been so bad throughout your whole career.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING??????????????????
The whole financial thing is just a sad excuse for you being afraid of getting old and loosing respect together with your four stripes.
If you want to continue flying, do so at the flying clubs and share your experience with becoming pilots instead.
Malaysian says that unions have established this system and he is correct. This system which you guys have fought so hard to develop. Should we just throw that out the window because of your egoism? Do you realise you are destroying all this for a lot of younger pilots? Perhaps you do, but you sure as h*** don't seem to bother about it when you elbow yourselves through the crowd.
It's about time that the rest of us who agree with the age 60-rule come forward and express ourselves. Until now we have just sat quiet, hearing your (excuse the expression) piss-poor excuses. I urge more people in favour of the age 60 rule to come forward and not let these whining men hang on to the rudder.
If you have no life outside Aviation and feel you must continue flying. At least show some dignity and request to downgrade yourselves into the right seat.
