Look at the ATL 777 trips for October, BKK is there.
No sign of MNL...yet.
There has already been an early out program for pilots, a few years back. Not a single 777 Capt. took one. I doubt if we'd see very many go under this new (rumored) incentive program, maybe only if they were already within the 37 weeks of age 65.
But the cash incentive just isn't big enough to draw anyone out, who's already pulling in over $30K month by flying 100 hrs/mo plus greenslips. I seriously doubt many 747 guys will take it either, unless they are 64.5 now.
How many pilots on our list are 64.5 today? That's about the only demographic that would be interested in this program, and I doubt many of them will come off the 747, unless they are in the bottom 25 (who will be displaced) and don't want to go to school for a pay cut.
