And on top of that, their "retirement" package/savings is in the dumps. Throw in a really bad economy where the prospects for a job -any job- are slim, specially by the fact they have been pigeon holed doing only one thing -flying- for the last 2 decades. Put yourself in that situation, and what would you do?. Th only ones that MAY consider taking this offer, are the ones with a second source of income. Another business, early good investments, income earning spouses, etc. This is a moot point.........time for a pool. I'll say 10 PILOTS will take this offer. Throw your number in the hat.
