You can use that as an excuse if you want, but if I were faced with $2000 per month vs. $150 I wouldn't try to time it down to the day to bail. I kinda think the guys who really were going to leave did so before the DOJ approval and DCC. I doubt Delta went to the trouble to close the deal just to keep pilots froom leaving. I also think they had a two day grace period so it shouldn't even matter that it closed so quickly. What excuse will you use when all your guys continue working past 60? How about past 62.4? The only think we can bank on for retirements is 65. We've only got four more years left until we are back to where we were last year.
