I'm not one to criticize grammar and typo's, but in this case the incorrect usage of then/than makes this sentence have a completely different meaning. I hope you meant "than".

 

But, its going to be up to us to give it away. Right. So we've got to rely on all of those steely eyed DP fliers to have our back while the company tries to take away our retirement at age 60? Yeah, we'll be able to show them.

I feel almost as good about that as I do the fact that DW says the 77 will pay the same as the 380. And that the LOA is as good as we could get. And that HKG will go senior.

I'm sure I missed a couple of other warm and fuzzies.

The A plan at 60 died on Dec 12th. Its just a matter of when we have the funeral.

Thanks again DW, Prater and APAAD.

Good point. You can't take it with you. Here is a novel idea, spend some time with your family before you die.

 

Don't you mean work 5 more years at half pay?

 

Point taken.....yes typo....however, with the leadership we have there is a good possibility of no Pay raises and still have to work to 65,

I have always told new hires....."It is never cheaper to have time off than it is right now" Since tomorrow you will have a bigger pay rate. In my case, that may not always be true......due to what economists call an inverted yield curve.....If I get bumped back to a right seat, then it will be certainly really true that it will never be cheaper again to drop a trip.

I plan on spending plenty of time with the family......I need to have my head examined.......With gas at 4 bucks a gallon, possible downgrade, I have taken delivery of a new toy that requires spending time on another forum.....RV.net

Not as well built as my old racing sailboat, but it will be a little more comfortable to cruise the intracoastal.....and does 65 mph behind my truck......I can race my small boat now.

 

Those that are captains right now get 5 more years of captain pay.

The rest of us get 5 more years at F/O or S/O pay. And we "get" to work to 65 just to get the captain years we would have had with retirement at 60.
