#3 is why I would have taken it, but I have a specific issue that makes every April a question mark.

How would you like to be looking at retirement right now with the hit your 401k just took and if your LAA the potential of your pension being turned over to the PBGC, LUS east the tiny pension is at the PBGC and LUS west- no pension?
If I were old enough, I’d take it, but I understand if some don’t think it’s the best decision for them and their family.
Early in my career I was blessed to fly with captain’s that went through their chapter 7. I headed their words and I’m so thankful. Learn from those that made mistakes ahead of you.

So based on that, I don’t see much grief from those close to retirement.

We need the option to fly. No questions asked. Passengers need to understand that they may or may not get to their destination. Based on flight crew willing to subject themselves to the risk.
The flights that are accepted then need have additional pay based on increased risks.
Management doesn’t like it? Fly the sick people yourself.
If this is just the flu, then why don’t I see our fearless leaders in the terminal or on my flights?
