They hurried this one through intentionally to sneak it in attempting to retain people as well as lock the stock price in before it jumps tomorrow and the next day.
Super,
If Pilots were planing on retiring and trying to time it down to last month or even week then they were gambling and it appears most lost. Just like the DAL pilots who thought they would have time to retire before the pensions were cancelled. If you think DCC is November or December then retire in September. Anyhow, I am all for a grace period and letting the guys retire now under the old medical plan but I don't think its in the cards. Welcome aboard NW Pilots!
