As far as you statement about seniority windfall due to retirement, you are flat out wrong. There are few that would still be here because they would have had to retire anyway prior to the rule change. We benefitted from rapid expansion. Now, the 2 NWA guys on either side of me will benefit from that. I know you won't believe that, and frankly I don't care. But for you to wax so poetically over the A330, and your retirement number is myopic. Have a nice career.
I hope you are right about rapid expansion. But we may be in for rapid contraction if this economy does not change. A much bigger fish to worry about. I think that quite a few guys would still be here had they not bailed out early. tHE 210 guys at the top of you list range from 79-81 DOHs. I am sure there were more of them that left but hey I am glad for you guys on that.
