The reality is that they got 191 pilots however the biggest majority were in the age 59 to 61 bracket. I put that out earlier and it was disputed by some but others posted the exact ages and it backs up what I stated to the letter.
So ALPA was wrong in their forcast. The program actually turned out better then they expected for Delta pilots. The side benefit is all those pilots 63 to 65 who were expected to go but did not will also be leaving soon anyway. I understand that 8 pilots who retire before next June did not even take the program.

You "understand" that...? What does that mean?

You're an ALPA waterboy. You have the names and numbers.
If the above was truly the case, you would have said so in unequivocal terms.

Are you intelligent in real life and just like to pretend you aren't when you are on APC?

Maybe it's the [deleted] messages from the [deleted] manager, the ones you can't delete until they're done playing, that are getting to you also.
