Merely a discussion point and, would it help?
That sounds like a comment from a greedy first officer who wants older pilots out of the way so the HE can get that left seat earlier.
Not a thought at all about how those older pilots are going to cope on the very much reduced pensions that will result (
please just look at what has happened to pension savings so far this year before posting comments like that) and the three to four years minimum wait that they will now have before they even get a top-up with a state pension.
I do not like the morals of anyone thinking like that. So much for 'pilots sticking together for pilots' that we have heard mentioned here.
