How is this possible? I can see the 105 hours/month, and I can see working 3 days in 4 months, but not both.

Pick up trips from swap board and friends that eventually become 23k’d.

So the only thing this poll validates is older
pilots are not on APC in representative numbers

Margin of error with 67 responses is about 12%.

A margin of error of “about 12%”???

The poll was of self-selected responders, not a random selection AND you applied your own correction factor of .75 to some of the results of your choosing?

Me thinks the margin of error in your poll is no greater than 100%.

Maybe re-read the first part of the post?

I can imagine it is.

CC is filled with “I got screwed” pilots. Many were pushing for age 67. There are probably quite a few that would like to see a very small number of pilots take the EO because it will validate why they need to work to 67. A large acceptance rate will also hurt their DZ arguments going forward.

If that’s the case, that’s a gross misrepresentation of the standard Delta schedule. That was a 2-month period that has come and gone.
