    House committee votes to raise pilot retirement age to 67

    From everything that I am hearing internally and in the media, there 100% commitment towards a Yellow+Blue and everyone is acting accordingly. IMHO all of posturing is making sure that everyone gets their pound of flesh (politically) to grease the wheels in the District of Columbia. (Because...

    House committee votes to raise pilot retirement age to 67

    Not for us... (personally) in the next 2 years (saying that this roughly takes effect in Aug....) ~140 dudes out of the whole group get an extra 2 years. A hair less than 3% of the total list. With the impending Y+B=G and how that's gonna affect our list it's almost a rounding error. (*The...

    FAA reauthorization bill includes Cockpit Video Recorders! 👎

    How would that provision play with this: For instance, at my shop, "retirement" has always been compared with the ending of employment. Other than pass bennies, which are different for many and not codified in the working agreement, retirement might as well be termination. Our CBA says the...

    JetBlue’s New Livery

    I like it. Worried a bit about how it's gonna age. The NorthEast weather is quite unforgiving to fancy paint schemes. How much does all that paint weigh vs. the mostly white bird? How much energy does blue absorb vs reflect in the Florida Sun. Hopefully the ground air is able to keep up. All...

    What good are strike votes?

    Only @SlumTodd_Millionaire. Probably. My answer would be this: The whole point of the RLA is to drive the two parties to a deal without disruption. The withdrawing of your labor, the strike, is the end game. Prior to it you have may steps that are designed to make the deal happen. Direct...

    SWAPA Strike Vote Closed Early

    (And I'm not picking on Zap's specific situation... this is more general pilot behavior stuff.)
