reached a tentative agreement with its pilots over terms for voluntary leave programs and an “early out” separation plan for senior pilots who are 62 and older, their union said Thursday."

That's a good find, I hadn't seen that. None of the union communications mentioned it. I am 61 in Sept. and emailed my reps over the weekend to advocate more like a DAL program with years of service rather than a hard age as I am ready to walk. The reply was that unfortunately I will be "too young" to participate in the program. Damn.
FWIW, hired in 97, low 5000 seniority
