Mephisto88,
That was by far the best thought out, and most eloquently written post on this thread. Thank you very much for your contribution. I think we all want an agreement, through negotiation, to resolve this issue. My fear, and maybe it is just that, is if this appeal is indeed won, then the company will simply unilaterally change the retirement age in ALL of our contracts. Now there is no compensation for the junior crew and a windfall for those of you who have been here for 12+ years. I think most are simply looking for a fair compromise that helps us all. I want to retire at 55, just show me how I can do it, regardless of seat held, with the same comfort I am planning with my current contract. If anyone can do that, then you will have my 100% support!!
