Did you happen to notich how much our EO sucked when compared to others? Did you notice how few guys took it?

Why is this group giving up an additional 12 months of pay? Who came up with this crap?
This is a limp dick deal.
the 24 months came about because on average the first pilots to take an early out were getting on average 18 months because of the ages of the group. Yes it would have been better to offer to a larger group and of course the MEC wanted to get 36 months in this new deal but it’s a negotiation and you can’t always get what you want.... Will be interesting to see how many that were so vocal and upset that it wasn’t offered to them in the first round take it in the second.
