What kind of statement is that? Doesn't the Company (and us) want the most qualified Pilot in the right seat? and eventually the left?? I jumped ship from another LEGACY carrier to come here and quite frankly I think the Company made the right decision...
So what if the Guy jumped ship.......He was brilliant (so was I in hindsight
), Don't we want smart forward thinking Pilots?
BTW, if you are referring to DAL guys who lumped out..................you will be hard pressed to find one that left with 1.2 mil................The lump sum was a 50% reduced from the calculated annutiy.....................
I think you will find most guys received in the ball park of 500-750 grand...............Not a insignificant sum, mind you, but not exactly a fortune after a 20-25 year career.
