[quote=slowplay;616158]It's definitely a two way street.

We can tell management to pound sand until Section 6 on a retirement incentive plan. Those 747/767 displacements then will trickle down, reducing income for a whole bunch of our members throughout the seniority list. Or management can get the savings of not having to displace as many people while maintaining some operational flexibility, and pilot pay can stay higher with fewer training events.


I believe from talking to a rep that the program is planned as a cost neutral program. Management is willing to spend the estimated cost savings from reduced training and other factors. There is no gain other then pilot moral for them to offer a early out so I doubt we have a great deal of leverage to make demands. There is a special MEC meeting next Wednesday. I suspect details of the program will be out by Thursday.
