I guess what I'm saying is, I worry AA will become what US Airways was...a slowly dying carrier not able to compete due to overburdened costs.
I'm not trying to be negative but I think it's also important to take a bigger picture.

So for the 55 hr guys, is currency going to be maintained in the sim?
Yes, this is great work by everyone involved, but as mentioned above, what happens when they don't get enough takers. I know what I'd do if I were a 62 yo not sure if I wanted to go to 65, but what about everyone else banking on the next guy volunteering for the 55hr deal?

My concern is the cost of this and what it will do for our ability to compete should we make it through.
Anyone 62 and up should have their head examined if they don't take this.
