With the current events taking place in France it appears the government needs an official to tout the benefits of raising the retirement age from 60 to 62. They need a guy like soon to be ex-ALPA prez. Prater to let the French people know what a great deal raising the age will be. They can learn about the additional years of regular wage earnings and the added benefit of having these experienced employees staying in the job market.
This probably the only time in my life I wished I was French. Too bad we couldn't have garnered this type of outrage over raising the age to 65 in the states. Instead we had old pilots advocating the change. They are like cock roaches and won't go away. At least the French want to retire. The gummers want to work to the grave. Want a bunch of morons the gummers are.
