All the 777 guys should wait until they get a training date before they retire, and retire on the training day(if they retire). Then on that day, put in your 2 week notice. That seems like common sense. Why would they retire now and lose out on the money they could get sitting at home waiting on training?

So let me get this straight...
The company is ignoring DALPA and doing whatever they want (outside of the contract of course) and then they turn around and make the pilots out to be the greedy ones because of their union and because so few took unpaid leaves.
Isn't it about time that all employees come together and take a stand against the corporate spin machine?
I have friends at United and while they aren't able to buy United shirts, volunteer to clean planes for free etc their management has open lines of communication with all their union reps and isn't pitting one group against the other. They're preparing for worst case scenario and the mood may be a bit more somber but i'd rather know than have it sneak up on me at the last second.

Why would they hand over the leverage of an erly out pkg and get zero for it?
Running this bid provides mgmt data as to how much any erly out may be worth

They can try, but it will be a grievance and the company would most likely lose.
Compensation to pilots is under the terms of the pwa. They can’t go outside of it. There is a reason why precious early retirement plans had LOAs (see LOA 14-05)
