The school has a pension, UAL has whatever we can make of it. Given my luck the age 67 thing will kick in like the age 65 thing did during the last wave of furloughs...not that I'm suggesting that, but it would be my luck. So it is time...Everybody fly safe, been an honor to work here for the last 5 years. Have a Longboard at Duke's in Lihue if the chance ever arises in the future.
I get all of the above. But, what about waiting for the voluntary furlough option if at all doable and taking an ESRL until then.
I understand that you’ve had enough just regret you are leaving potential money on the table that costs you nothing......
I took a voluntary furlough in 08 because of the caustic atmosphere. I get it! I had been head hunted for a job that would work for me. But I waited until we pushed through the voluntary furlough option to not burn a bridge.
Just 2 cents of advice. If you are dead set on your plan I can only wish you all the best in your endeavors going forward. However, I can’t condone doing it at your seniority without the furlough announcement/letter I actually expect in June.
Again, best wishes and tailwinds!
