Sorry only 240 numbered AE pilots left that have contractual rights, and that can be taken away in BK. NO MOVEMENT. Company made sure it will happen this way.

As a mainline pilot who has a pension that guarantees him/her after BK and average 50,000 per year annuity. I fly a medium size mainline aircraft and make 155,000 per year. I am 60, and you think I am going to give up an additional 450,000 dollar because I dont have enough sick time, vacation accrued to add to the 18 days off a monht and skate the last 5 years.

People are living in a dream world that the senior person is going to retire to make you happy. That senior pilot works for him/herself not for you. . Oh did you know Canada is making mandatory retirement illegal and so is the European union. Can you say 70.
