The max RMA was 120k but that was lots of years of service. To me that's paying the company to work.
That's government style accounting. They didn't get as much for their service, true, but hardly qualifies as paying the company. Kind of like the rhetoric I keep hearing about the 747 guys losing money by hanging around until 65. If that were true, why are they still here?
