☆ US airline pilots fight their unions to increase retirement age
  + stars: | 2023-08-22 | by ( Rajesh Kumar Singh | Allison Lampert | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
Increasing the age limit by two years would also align pilot retirement with the minimum federal retirement age, allowing them to receive full social security benefits. But the specific question of increasing the retirement age to 67 was never brought to the floor for a vote. “This is a coup by junior pilots against senior pilots,” said Allen Baker, who retired as a United Airlines pilot in June. Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for American Airlines pilots union, said pilots seeking higher retirement age want to keep earning longer. But United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has said lifting the retirement age would not solve the pilot shortage.

☆ Russian propaganda is making its way into popular kids' games like Roblox. One Russian official even hosted a concert in Minecraft.

Video games are becoming the new frontier of Russia's information war, a new report from The New York Times found. Users of multiple kids' games, including Roblox and Minecraft, are creating worlds full of Russian propaganda. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently expressed interest in the potential of video games to spread "patriotism." Video games underscore just how sprawling the Russian information machine has become online. The Times identified multiple instances of Russian propaganda in video games including at least one that also appeared to be influenced by a government official.

☆ U.S. House panel votes to raise commercial pilot retirement age to 67
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - A U.S. House of Representatives committee on Wednesday narrowly voted to raise the mandatory commercial pilot retirement age to 67 from 65. The pilot age proposal faces opposition from unions and an uncertain fate by a U.S. Senate committee, which will consider its version of the FAA measure on Thursday and does not currently include the pilot age hike. "Raising the pilot retirement age keeps experienced pilots -- particularly, captains -- in place," RAA said. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) opposed raising the retirement age and says it could cause airline scheduling and pilot training issues and require reopening pilot contracts. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg does not support raising the pilot retirement age.
