It's hard to know. I used to fly with guys all the time that said stuff that'd make me think they'd jump all over this:
"I'm just sticking with it for the medical bennies."
"Yeah I'm senior enough for the 777, but no way am I going through another initial."
"At my age it's all about working as little as possible."
I guess we'll find out Friday whether any of it is true.

Also, everything is getting cancelled not because they think we’ll all die, but because if everyone gets sick at once the hospitals will very quickly run out of capacity. See Italy. While you’re at it, get a grip on yourself and think things through before just dumping it all out man. Do you just push buttons at a whim in the cockpit?

Are you AA, when were you hired? The AA list has a wide range of pilots that have been affected by career timing including those retiring at age 65. Yes, the "Golden Children" of 1984-85 have done well. After that, the curve drops including those LAA 2001 hires that were around age 40. The Group II LOA's offered are 50% of the total. If you're AA, it shouldn't take long to figure out how many in that group are 60+ and have a wrecked retirement and QWL, and long upgrades.
We're all taking it in the shorts, some obviously worse than others.
