Right, but those guys won't take the early out. I still say displace them. It won't reach down as far as we think. The pain will stop at the 330 level with 10 more jets on the way. We need to stop this pattern of hitting the panic button when the company gives us bad news. Our contract is up in less than a year and a half. The company has made it clear that our joint venture scope is going to get violated, and they don't seem to care. If there is an early retirement program, it needs to be permanent and the option needs to be offered to everyone on the list. I want an early retirement 30 years from now. Negotiate better retirement benefits for all retired pilots. This is being done in a very shady way.
