The eligibility list shows everyone through employee number 29413 (with just a couple of exceptions) eligible.

The travel bennies last for a period of time equal to your YOS. It's yield fare s3cr, but it is on ALL DCI carriers as well as mainline. No Buddy passes, no confirmed for less fares or zed fares.

Why would they do it?

-finite end to your travel benefits
-if they ever do rehire, everyone will be at first yr pay vs 5+ yr pay
-if a merger, no baggage of xxx # of furloughed pilots to deal with

as well as numerous other reasons...all not good for those that stay...

Enjoy your windfall.

And thank your union!
