Agree with Tsquare and GG. Early outs are something the company needs to avoid a very expensive and manpower-draining training cascade. (of course the company's bean counters didn't look at those limfacs when making their decision). So now they're up a creek.
They need to provide incentive if they want to offer them (in seniority order, of course).
However...I see DALPA (and us) getting rolled. Again.

As long as they offer it to.everyone in seniority order.
If not, then we can pass on this deal.

I am not getting some of the angst with this whole (possible) deal. It almost seems like some would rather have them displace these pilots (causing more possible displacements) than to try and mitigate the damage?
Which course of action provides the best possible outcome for the pilot group and why? (Not a rhetorical question and assuming we aren't giving anything up)

The 737 is senior for a number of reasons. Not everyone wants to fly long-haul international. The 737 has the best trips in the system. It's all about quality of life. That is why it's senior.
I'm middle of the pack on the 737. I can hold international on larger aircraft in my base. I choose not to because of the lifestyle the 737 affords. Guys senior to me aren't going anywhere, either. It's all about lifestyle.

Exactly. As long as it is in senioirty order, what is the big deal?

Any time we ask the company for something, they expect something in return. Now, what are they going to give in return for something they badly need?
We've got to get every penny and every second off when we can...the company will take every penny and second off when it can.
Or is "constructive engagement" a one-way (or should I say "wrong way") street for the pilot group?
