Think you may have misunderstood arryboy. The upper age limit is only a maximum allowable age, not a 'must work to' age.
As I said, it will be at the discretion of the employer, if it suits them they will use it.

CX would never do something that drastic. It’s not their style.
The CX pilots would definitely “spit the dummy” and would take severe industrial action if that were to happen. I am sure CX is feeling the pressure.
On a different note, even if the CAD adopts the new 65 rule, it states “55” in your contract. BUT, we are all on individual contracts, so the pilots will have to sign individually. So as you approach 55, expect to get a new contract in your mailbox. If you are deemed worthy, of course.

Mr Bloggs............what planet you on??? Severe industrial action?? the Aoa hasn't even got 50% membership and those they have got think "Severe Industrial Action" is to be nasty to new joiners....................whats it going to be then??? this severe industrial action??? No signing on for a flight until the actual sign on time??? Fly round at cost index 80 irrespective??? or Maybe something that will really hurt CX like all wearing silly badges ???
Give us a break...cx will do what they please, when they please, as they please.........................
why??
Because they can.......and the sad little "AoA club" will do what it always does.......
Nothing!!!

sizematters and friends,
I'm sure the Mandarin Airways MD11 Captain doesn't have the same opinion of the AOA as you. If you think that chasing $'s with CX is the only item the AOA is concerned with then the size of your brain obviously does matter.
As you obviously aren't a member I hope you never need their assistance because if you did you'll probably have dragged a member down with you.

BusyB,
Is that the best you can do? Put all your eggs in that proverbial insurance basket using "what if" scare tactics. I don't have life insurance why should I be concerned about your little legal coverage in case I screw up. Well, don't screw up and if you still screw up...oh well!
No, that is no reason to join the AOA. There are good reasons to join but that is not one of them.
Oh and since you’re a self proclaimed pea-brain spotter, the AOA should be concerned about what their members are concerned about...don't ya think?
But, your becoming a good reason not to join!

cpdude,
you're the one talking about 1 basket, that was just an example.
Anyway, no point talking to you, you don't even know what insurance you've got. CX give you 5 yrs salary loss of life insurance!

I am very aware of the Company insurance but we are talking about "extra" insurance. It was much easier to say "life" than to state all of the products available such as income protection, disability, term etc etc.
You are right on one point though, no point talking to you with your chest puffed out pounding your AOA chant.

Oh ... so that is what your sweet talking words of encouragement were for? Trying to convince me and other non-AOA members to join/rejoin. You were just looking after us were you?
How sweet...smile next time so I know you mean well when your darts are flying our way!
