Right or wrong, it's a pretty straight forward policy -- whatever your pass classification is on your retirement date is what you keep.What is APFA going to do -- kick them out of the union?... stop sending them the monthly magazine?... The guy is retired. I don't think he cares about toothless sanctions.The union can make a lot of noise, but in the end really can't dictate what the airline offers in an non-contractual area like travel, or prevent someone from being offered (or from accepting) a consulting position after they've separated from the company & leave the union.
