If ALPA backs this change in the states you will see ALPA out of business quickly. The majority of pilots have been hammered by ALPA's shift to endorse Age 65. Raise it to 70 and the number of former ALPA carriers will be large. Would be interesting to see the Mustache Mafia from ALPA flying the line. Perhaps making their lives miserable would be my new pastime?

Age 65 was a land grab. Raise it to 70 and the gummers would never find their gate. Just listening to the old gompers in Europe on the radio is painful. They miss every handoff, misread every frequency and do various acts of embarrassment outside the cockpit.

Stop this lunacy. Age does matter when flying. These clowns are not getting better with age.
