Hahahah... Is'nt it funny... To tell u the truth. It could actually have been worse. Congrats to the "old boys club" (A scalers) - they are the only winners in this one - and hey good for you/them.
The real loosers are all of the "not yet in command" (F/Os, S/Os). You can now sit back and see your lifetime salary reduced as a consequense of an extension until 65Y. Prob 3-6Y depending on the ways of the world.
That's life and life must go on.. Vote it down - yeah right - and then what..
