Info for recently retired or retiring.
I am friends with a CP for American. In a discussion today he mentioned that at least in NC and PA where he was handling pilots retiring they were drawing unemployment benefits because pilots are forced to quit at 65. With the elimination of the DB plan you are not retiring. You are simply out of work at 65. American is not contesting this. He said that there is no reason a Delta pilot can not do the same. Feel free to repost this on other forums.
