As far as the company's liabilities go, Captains not doing any extra and having over 25-years at the company, are earning close to 50 cents on the dollar already. They'd receive 130k a year from the company just for retiring--so many are actually "earning" less then FO pay. With this career end DSA payout, the company is paying them close to what they actually cost.

Not trying to be devisive, just doing the math so please correct me if I'm wrong. Even If a 25-year captain makes 300k a year--they work until June 6th just to match their already earned pension. So......they told the company what they are worth.
