So you most of you want to change the rules the closer you get to retirement? Whow does that suit you or what? Like someone said on this post all of you would have longer times to command, longer redundancies, and slower movement if it was not for this Age 60 rule.
No, $220,000 is not a lot of money especially in Japan for a widebody command with the very high cost of living and taxes they have in the land of the rising sun.
330 Man,
Just got an email from my United friend. He said that the union leadership in their infinite wisdom voted to give up the pension when they did. The pilots as a group did not get to vote on the proposal which seems hard for me to believe. The leadership takes years of your savings and you don\'t get to vote on that.
Also it seems to me if a judge "takes" your retirement and changes your terms and conditions you when then have the right to strike. What are you suppose to do, sit there and take it with no recourse or very little recourse?
