Stay at Atlas or leave for AA ?

Attrition may not be as much of a driver if legislation is pushed through to raise the age. I am hopeful that if ICAO holds firm and doesnt change the age, the push to do so here will dwindle. The guardrails are down now and there really is nothing that will stop a push to raise it now, as well as consolidation.
How that affects, or even if it should, someone's career decision is unknown.

Oh, if that gets exec-ordered, it’s going to be ‘fly till you die’, wreck attrition until the oldsters realize “Yeah, this is too hard, I’m going on medical leave”

I can only imagine how many are salivating at the thought of this. No need to sell the boat or be fiscally responsible.
If I had kids I’d steer them as far away from flying as I could.

At least where you work there is the carrot of the pension to get people out the door. If you don't retire after 30 years that's well over six figures that goes away every year you stay. That's, ultimately, what pushed me out the door at 60. I wanted that free money and wasn't gonna give it back to them. I recognize I'm simplistic in my thinking of what a 400K salary can do properly invested over time. But free money and I don't have to work anymore and I can go warm places in the winter (as I sit in my RV surrounded by snow/ice on an island in Alabama).
