They did not hang around in the PRP program and get any money. I flew a couple of retirement trips with these guys.
The PRP (post-retirement pilot) program
was a result of the exodus of guys prior to bankruptcy.

Oh, by the way, HOW 'BOUT THEM SEAHAWKS!! Oh, and Holiday Bowl winners Washington Huskies!!
Yeah I didn't remember all the particulars... I'm pretty sure that there were some of them that signed on to the program early, but didn't leave for quite awhile.... or at least it seemed that way... If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time... Anyway, thanks for the edification. I still wouldn't want to go down that road unless there was some sort of iron clad way to get them out the door.. and wordsmiths always can find a way around any contract language... it's what they do.
I'm glad we finally don't have to hear about Katrina and the dog killer anymore...
Now if we can get rid of the Brady bunch it'll all be good.
