C2012 didn't do squat for my retirement funding, or any other old guy's retirement plan, so I guess we'll have to stay to 65....
I already paid for Scope once, in 1993, when I was bumped off my MD88 Capt. seat and I was replaced by an RJ Capt. Now I've paid for scope again.
Oh, and what do you think helped put Delta into bankruptcy?
Could it be the debt that Leo the CEO ran up buying 500 RJ's?
The "Old Guys" 42% pay cut and lost retirement funding has been paying that debt off too.
That's one way to look at it. Another is that the old guys voted yes, not for 717 flying, but for the "time value of money" argument; get paid now or you'll have to wait for a new PWA for another 2+ years cuz of plan B (
SCARY!)
