In the unlikely event it gets really ugly, "stop the sim, its been real y'all". Otherwise once trained, might as well do OE/TOE. Then ACARS on the last inbound and request the retirement fire hoses. If I was in that zone that's probably what I'd do.
I've always said I was going to retire via ACARS. If the company was being good to us, it would be at top of descent into someplace like NCE where my sailboat would be waiting for me to bring back home... or if not, it would be at pickup. Joking of course. But what is this 2 weeks notice thingy? You are not getting anything from Delta anymore except pathetically bad nonrev benefits. They gonna take those away?
