And to all the Poolies--Expect lots of retirements this Oct-Dec. (In a just-announced change, the union benefits folks are conducting group retirement briefings versus one-on-one.) Hang in there folks....Hope to see all y'all soon!
I wouldn't count on too many retirements. A lot of pilots that have 2 to 3 years until retirement attend these briefings to get an idea of what to expect. Remember last year when the rumor was 300 guys were going to retire when it turned out to be a lot less? The rumor was based on all these guys attending the retirement briefings.
