Curious. Is there any stipulations to your flying privileges on your early out program. Over at Comair, those crew members at 5-10 years get flying bennies, but they are only on Comair and Delta. Not other Delta Connection carriers, or Northwest.
The company is in the process right now of offering an early retirement for people with service of 5 years or more, also for the month of March is offering TOWOP (Time off without pay). So, there are things in the works but when your 100 people fat thats a lot of hours and money to cut so the company is doing everything they can right now without having to furlough anyone.
