And I believe the Airline Pilot's Association is still fighting
against it. There are a lot more members who are 30,40 that want the
left seat than 59 year old members who want to keep it. I doubt it
will effect many pilots anyway. There are still a lot of guys taking
early retirement at 58 for the money.


I read ALPA is against it, but the FAA is going ahead with the NPRM
anyway. It's good news for the guys that still want to fly a few more
years. I didn't think airlines were still offering early buyouts?
