The age 60 IVR vote that was used in the current news release by acpa.
The vote was taken in 2006. Not 2010. The rules, were different then.
For those of you, who like to see that 80% of the pilots supported the mandatory retirement of 60. Do the math, less than 50% of the ac pilots supported the age 60 issue.
IVR # 72
May 8 2006
Certified, Audited results:
3083 eligible voters
1840 voted
1382 yes
0458 no
so only 1382 of 3082 voted yes. LESS than 1/2 the members voted to fight this. acpa is not, representing its members.
A new poll, which acpa would never do, would show even less yes votes.
The world has changed, and so should acpa,ac, and the individuals who only see the world in the rearview mirror.
The issue of greed, well it is common to all of us. So, the constant flogging of the FP60 group is just plain greedy, is no more, or no less, than the greed of the middle and junior pilots, they want the seniors out of the way, so they can get more money, its greed on their part, no more no less than the FP60.
