But it's not rocket science. Early retirements would mean more people drawing a retirement check. While, at the same time, they would have to hire more pilots that would equate to even more retirement eligible pilots in the future.
Look at what happen to Delta before they went BK. The early retirement option, with half as cash, created a stampede for the door that sucked over $2 Billion out of the company in 6 months. Great deal for those that left and upgrades were sped up.
But... That and the money taken by executives via exit bonuses pulled them into BK. Me thinks our A plan would suffer in BK

Hey they say the longer you work, the less time you live after retirement....I guess that just helps to insure our money will be there when the time comes.

As for the pick a side comment earlier....well I know the side I am on. It is the side of the crew force, just because I choose to see the humor in something, does not mean I do not know which side I am on. I have apologized for any perceived slight that I might have caused; if that is not good enough..... then lighten up.
