Senior pilots, pilots who live in base, or don't have good exit options are obviously going to stay. But a I bet a decent number of older commuters can get a corporate or part-time job in their hometown and use the lump sum to offset the pay cut.
Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 100+ take it.
I’m literally everything you said with the exception of being 54.
Commuter. Dissatisfied. Corporate offer on the table.
The 18 months severance would mitigate the first year of corporate until the end of year corporate bonus kicks in. Or if big oil gets in trouble here in TX and starts laying off pilots. Gulfstream 650. Start on G280. I’d take it if they dropped the age.
