48 hours at WB Capt pay exceeds 72 hours of S/O pay, which is where they came from. Face it, the ND crowd will retire on their 65th birthday and not a day before and not for any logical reason you can come up with.

The ND's I've talked with are saying it's all about the 100's of dollars/month they will save in health care costs. That savings won't mean a lot when they mort at 65 becuase of GREED not cheap health care. How about they "DO THE RIGHT THING" ---to coin a phrase from DW---and just retire. Sorry about being master of the obvious.
all those studies and "morting at 65" (as you say) don't apply to any of them.
just ask them......they'll tell ya........

So here's my next question. Are any of those bumped to F/O from Captain, going to wear your four stripes for your trips with the returning NDs in the left seat? I hope...I hope....I hope.......

I still think this move serves two purposes 1) Fill HKG and 2) eliminate as much PO pay as you can (casued by Purple Nuggets and 72 FOs).
I do not know if HKG will get filled, but, I think the subsequent training letter will be cut off just above the Purple Nugget range to kill PO pay.
My question is what if HKG doesn't get filled? How will HKG get filled? Furlough then recall into an FDA? Newhires?
