Just curious. Did these conversations occur before UAL retirement plans turned to garbage?
The best our pilots have so far is 22 years of service for our A plan and a B fund that has been hammered by the stock market. If you run the numbers , unless someone has been extremely fortunate or has a Mil retirement also, going past 60 is a no brainer. The difference in income between working or retiring is ugly.
