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.
Again, what does it mean to be the most qualified? And when a guy leaves a lagacy, like you did, it probably wasn't with a lump sum under your arm. It's usually after a couple of years and you get nothing in return. The guy I met that had left AA had 1.2 in his bank account when he walked. I, for one, am not interested. Is he qualified? Maybe. Is he the most qualified. Don't know.
