What's the latest on that? I've tried searching but doesn't seem to yield much. I've heard it's changed from 67 +364 to 67???Seems like everyone is likely in the same boat...I wonder if its economic or preparation for 67.

The house version, which is the only version that has been passed thus far is 67. It is with the senate right now for their version and we dont know if that portion is included. If the senate version doesnt have any age increase included, theyll have to hammer it out in reconciliation to see if itll survive in the final version. Although the President's admin has been against an age increase, I cant see something like this veto'd, especially given the Presidents own age. I've prepared myself for 67, Ill be sick if its 68.What's the latest on that? I've tried searching but doesn't seem to yield much. I've heard it's changed from 67 +364 to 67???

For back story. This 67 was added last minute to the house bill based on congressmen Niehls (R-TX)of amendment. This Congressman's brother is a DL pilot who is in (or the head of)a lobbying group for an age increase.
It wouldnt have the same impact because 2 is less than 5 . At my airline, the early outs wouldve all been gone by now anyways, so no change. Some other airlines may have had more aggressive early outs, but I am not aware of it. As long as the wheels keep turning it wont be the huge double wammy 65 was. THe thing that bothers me more than anything is, that ill have to work to 67 to reach my retirement number and all that comes with that. Work longer, less post work life.Although this time around, with the large number of early retirements and buyouts there were of senior people during Covid and such, would a 67 age increase have the same career impact of a lost decade on the industry, to the degree that age 65 did?

Oooh good question. 65 kept me on the street for years longer. I often wonder had 65 never happened would I have gone back, and be at AA right now instead?Seems like everyone is likely in the same boat...I wonder if its economic or preparation for 67.
Exactly. Go right from the cockpit to the coffin.Work longer, less post work life.
I think I've mentioned this before but my father retired at 61, and spent the following years traveling, spending time with the grandkids, and whatever else my folks felt like doing. Right after his 65th birthday he got sick with pneumonia and the doctors could't figure out why he couldn't beat it. For over a year he was in and out of the hospital, coughed so much and so bad he broke his ribs. Finally they figured out that he had some kind of immune deficiency and were able to treat it with immunotherapy infusions just in time for Covid to hit and make them live like hermits for another year. We talk a lot about what would have happened had he not retired when he did and worked until 65, would he have made it through that bout of illness, and all the things and traveling they would have missed out on.Exactly. Go right from the cockpit to the coffin.
My wife is 6 years older than me. If I work until 67, she'll be 73 when I retire. How much fun can we really have in retirement at that age?

Here’s the latest info.Any truth to interviews getting cancelled? I seen a few people mention it today and I’m wondering if SWA is going to wait until the TA passes to see if they can be pickier with their talent. I also noticed the window for this month didn’t open either (don’t ask why I was there).
More than you think.Exactly. Go right from the cockpit to the coffin.

Well….where’s the pic?
Ah yes...a few people had unscheduled, rapid disassembly of their careers over that one.
some people have a belly button...
