I've made this point before, but I guess it has to be stated again. I watched these same people advocating a older retirement age gleefully check seniority list to see who retired or died to see how they had moved up every six months for years. They were also able to reasonably calculate the year in which they would upgrade with "zero growth" at their airline. If we are going to "right the wrong" it should be done in 15-20 years to take most actve pilots out of the equation. If those flying now want to stay they should be allowed to if they want to go to the bottom of the list. I am guessing that their "love of flying" would rapidly disappear if that were the case. What this really boils down to is " I GOT MINE, AND NOW I WANT YOURS".
