Retirement Age 60?
Just looking for viewpoints here. What do people think about CX moving towards RA60? There is some anti age discrimination legislation in outports that could potentially affect hong kong based pilots. Might have the ridiculous scenario where OABL or VETA can employ on a base till 60 but you can't work in HKG past 55.
What sort of deal would it take to have pilots accept a change from 55 to 60? Big payrise? Guaranteed upgrades for 5 years?
Personally I am against RA 60 cause I got my command due to people being forced to leave at 55. My argument is we all knew what we were getting into when we joined. But some older pilots are arguing that they need more money and it is good for everyone if you can work 5 years longer here than have to go to EK/Parc/Rishworths!
Anyway, let the vitriol begin;-)
