Rice pudding, exactly right.
They can't make pilots retire or go onto reduced terms at age 55 in Europe although many senior guys seem to be doing it voluntarily, however......they still have to pay bypass pay for anyone working beyond 55 as it's in the contract. Anyone on a base or thinking of going on one before command would be mad to vote for anything that both increases retirement age and takes away bypass pay. If those two things are wrapped up together again in whatever they come out with next then I'm fairly sure that no F/O's or S/O's would vote for it.
