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.

ALPA is fighting it, but not for this reason.

I doubt it
will effect many pilots anyway. There are still a lot of guys taking
early retirement at 58 for the money.

Where have you been the last few years Robert? There isnt a single
airline left in the US with a defined benifits package exept AMR and
early retirement over there isnt a benifit as far as money is
concerned.
