Preferably, he'd like $2 million, because what's what he thinks the company stole from him, and wants the "juniors" as they call everyone on chitchat to pay for it, because "we owe him". Like the rest of the boomers, he's part of the greed, entitlement, and victimization generation.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
self proclaimed? Newsflash Chief, there are still a lot of deadzoners here.

Pretty high opinion of yourself thinking you were a lock to get hired if you weren’t “stuck”. Bet you were falling over yourself to get that RJ job when scope was relaxed though. You see, several ways to look at it.

To me a deadzoner is someone who retired after the pension termination, but before the retirement age was raised to 65 (they were forced out at 60). The real deadzoners were all gone by 2007.

Since that's all you chose to respond to, I assume the rest of my statement was correct.

Add to it then, "JamesBond" (easily identifiable after all of his pompous self doxxing in the name of bragging) isn't the only self appointed deadzoner who feels his fellow pilots owe him a retirement after his own group voted it away. There's lots of them left. But only for 5-10 more years... then the rest of us can move on and they can circle jerk right wing politics on CC with the other retirees who just can't let go.

Not in my opinion. Stop pretending to be a victim.

This is the correct answer and mainly applies to UAL and USAir pilots.

This is true. The Delta pilots got a note. Some realized it was for retirement, others used the money to lessen the pain of the voluntary paycuts they took in the years prior in the name of saving the pension.

You don't owe us. Delta does. I have never said that any of you owe us anything.
