Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Anyone remember the last early out?

How many took it?

Did most pilots drop papers at the last minute in that one also?

How many backed out during the "two-week window"?

There were around 192 guys who applied, with around 30 applicants withdrawing their application.

IOW, if the 74A's are capped at 25 and 26 74A's put in their papers, boom the program is over and 25 guys retired early.

That said, I think it will make it down to whatever seniority meets the requirements.

I don't think you are correct. If they are offering 25 retirements on the 744 and 26 want it, only 25 744 pilots get to go and then they move on to the 777, 767 etc. If you are senior in your category, even the DC-9, you could get in on the deal.

Scambo is correct. If anyone who wants to take the package is denied due to "operational requirements", no one junior to that person will be allowed to take the package.

Number one, excellent photographic composure. The lighting and temperature are just right to bring out the details.

Number two, what the heck kind of jeanie pants are those?

Number three, I'm OK with the glitter legs and spotted socks, but that carpet may be a dealbreaker.

Number four, what does this have to do with taking a package? :D

They are overstaffed by more than that. 25 would require no training.

Just over 180 after the opt out period. Suspect the AE will not be out until the second half of Aug after the "Opt Out" period is over.
