You are correct in the retirement numbers are set..... But, if there is contraction the place you hold on the seniority list may not change by much as a percentage.

I am glad you are optimistic in your future, but if this country's economy doesn't start moving forward at a good clip we may see some changes here. Also all it will take is another successful terrorist attack on an airline and no airlines future will be bright.
