The opposite of that is how much do they get out of a guy who trains, finishes IOE and then hits 65 (or somewhere along that 63 to 65 continum). That's a lot of pain to go through to bid back to the 8 panel. A guy would probably retire. No buyout required this time and his replacement will once again probably be stuck in whatever seat for more than two years. Company wins again (saves more money).
Also, should there be a buyout in the works it will be cheaper (guessing here) to buy someone out from the back seat than from a front seat.
Obviously all the JR people are getting herded onto the panel. If the bottom 100 get F worded then the impact to the operation will be minimal. Another conversation here revolves around when. Economy rebounds then it won't happen. No rebound and the company makes the decision, they aren't going to shoot themselves in the foot and cause a massive interruption to service by not having enough F/O's in ANC.
All the above is hypothetical and my opine only and is not that of the IPA, UPS, APC or George Bush.

I'm certain that there are many who will gladly take your seat.

I disagree. They are doing it now because so many of the ND Favre's have failed training. Many only ever flew the 727 or DC-8 and think that the -400/MD-11 is too automated. A lot of them are too intimidated to bid if they think they will go to training. Many of these guys literally do not know how to operated Windows on a PC and fear CBTs.

Dude, if the job is so terrible...quit *****ing and move on. Like I said, there is a door, all you gotta do is walk thru it. Maybe you can get another "pretty good job". ( 'Cuz UPS is rated pretty low on the "pretty good job" scale, isn't it?)

I don't doubt your statement, but I don't know it for fact either. Do you have a number or percentage to go with this?

You want me to walk away and be unemployed?....SURE....I'M ALL OVER IT!!! Easy to sit there and spout off when you're not in danger of losing it all, isn't it?
Is being a manager all you expected? I hope it's working out for ya.

You are a real live rocket surgeon. 'Bout as much practicality...
