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.
You will be fine........5 years a drop on the bucket seniority wise. Why can I come off so crass ? I’ve been furloughed by UAL in 08 and this furlough (if it happens - did you get a letter yet ?) will be MUCH shorter in duration (less than a year).
just to put things into perspective 🤘🏻
