The program offered in contract 2012 turned out better then expected because they targeted 300 guys in the 63 to 65 range and got 196 guys in the 58 to 61 range. Very good for us but the company did not like it so much.
I suspect that the company will be a bit gun shy this time and ask for restrictions to insure they meet their target demographic. I doubt the program will make any real difference to the junior guys.
Yeah, I agree with that. The only way they will get what they want is to offer it to only the 744 guys and nobody else. Maybe the 777 and 330 guys so those they don't get from the 744 can displace into their positions and not cascade below those fleets.
