I was at Captain Praters campaign speech when the ALPA-BOD convened here in LAS.
It is his
personal position that he supports a change. However, as President of the Association he will support the position of the membership which is No Change to age 60....
Alpa members overwhelmingly favor retiring at age 60....No need to "work 'till you die".
