What's "the deal"?

Half guarantee and full benefits until 65 with no obligations to the company

how may pilots is that 15-20?

maybe...it’s a small drop in the bucket, but I guess they are at least looking for some alternatives. I’d like to see some 50 hr surplus lines but doubt we’ll see anything like that.

I’m just hoping to see bids actually posted tomorrow on deadline. Then where the re alignments sits us all

Honestly I believe it's more than 15-20. Seems like most of the captains I've flown with over the last month have been in their 60s. All of them super high employee numbers. I'd say it was at least 5 if not 6 different captains.

Why do you want to “see some 50 hr surplus lines” when you’re still going to get paid for 60? I want to see 20 hour lines and get paid for guarantee and stay home until this all passes by. I don’t know your status but if you think you need to build hours to upgrade that ship has sailed for quite some time.

Welcome to the new “lost decade”.

not at all, I am a recently upgraded CA. Surplus lines would be a way to help the company save money, but still be a totally voluntary program that a pilot can choose to bid for if they want to and can afford it. I’m all for full pay to the last day, but I’m also for helping to ensure there’s a company around so we dont get to a last day.
