It is foolish to compare WJ and AC's pilot's motivation for changing retirement age (ie: pension vs no pension) etc. AC is a large international airline and changing the rules would be brutal to deal with. "Canada only" pairings on the A340 or 777??? Imagine logistics of international flights with someone over 60 at the wheel "unable direct XXX due age 60 rule" When all of Europe and the rest of the world has a common age that's a different story. On machines where "Canada only" blocks are possible senority gets thrown out the window. I'm for people working longer so here's a solution - at age 60 retire or become RP's or EMJ f/o's in the position group payscale. EMJ "Canada only" blocks wouldn't be too bad for the company to handle and now ACPA might be nicer to it's young!
