In seven years I will be in a position to hold about what I hold now with a line. I hit 50% in 2023 without a increase to the retirement age which may br coming. I will be able to hold ER capt at 58. I retire in the low double digits.

As for retirement, I am aware. It will be an add on to what I have been very successful at in my own right.

None of this means that I should be willing to go with less protections because I can. Again, it's not about me, it's about this group. If I were to take a singular I perspective on this TA I should vote for it because I can take a down bid, I can take a furlough, and I could take possible stagnation.

There see a lot of if if ifs out there will "possible" future growth. It's just like the mass of 738's we were going to get that never materialized. I agree their "could" be impressive hiring out there but because of this TA we will see less bodies because of it.

Dal wants to go after it, that is known, it's also a reason not to sell ourselves short. If the TA passes we all move on. We just need to realize a lot needs to be fixed and ASAP.
