So one of the points of contention is that Delta would rather furlough a pilot than let another stay on Mil leave over 5 years and guarantee their job when they return?

while I don’t disagree with the sentiment, millennials are usually defined as people born between 1980-1995. Most people don’t realize that older millennials turn 40 in 2020.
From the best I can tell, many in the boomer generation (b1946-1965) were hired at a major around the time they were 30, that is simply not true anymore

UAL guy here. I voted yes because I can actually live on less pay and want the extra time off. Don’t forget, this isn’t less pay for the same days of work - it’s less days of work at the same hourly rate.
I heard Delta pulled a bait-and-switch on your SILs. That’s too bad, becauee I’ve been on one since March and learned I actually can live on 50 hours a month.
With this LOA, I’ll be working 11 days a month now on a NB. Sign me up.
I understand why pilots are voting no, but the above are my (selfish) reasons for voting yes.

yep, I think that is a major factor. I think the USAF AD commitment is up to (Edited for accuracy) 10 years now. Certainly changes the age people get out at, but might also sway someone’s decision to stay a few more years and get a check for life with insurance for situations just like this one.

10 is not as bad, still probably puts you around 33-34 years old before you are eligible to separate if my math is right.

10 years after your wings and bubbas frequently get nailed with events within a couple of years that extend them....PCS ADSC, requal ADSC, etc. By the time it’s all said and done, unless someone gets a massive Palace Chase waiver, dudes are rolling out at 12-13 yrs....35 years old makes sense now.
