Much of that, including in my immediate instance, is going to be driven by the age of the person affected. For me personally, im into my early 50s, and I have my flow preferences set at yes. But PSA has a relatively senior group of pilots as well, that will choose not to flow, and take the money. I'm right on the cusp of maybe choosing not to flow, especially with the prospects of making this kind of money at the regional level.
I'm pretty senior at PSA, I enjoy a great quality of life as far as schedule goes, I don't have an ego that tells me that I have to fly the next biggest jet, and this new deal will have me living quite comfortably.
