You are Naive! Not to mention when you get over 55 all many pilots need to do is be honest at medical time. Those that don't have a medical issue will create one. It was very lucrative for former Pan Am pilots to go disability rather then retire. probably 3 out of 4 went out disabled. Some guys have no trouble at all looking themselves in the mirror doing that kind of stuff. I really admired some of the Pan Am guys who retired and left a 100,000 a year on the table. It's called character and some had it.

So save the 'looking in the mirror' moralizing. Unless you want to open the conversation on national officers dues paid pension plan...when virtually none of the member pilot groups have such a benefit.
You would have to go out in a seat position that had no age 60 mandatory retirement qualifier. So a double down bid to the SO seat was the mechanism.

got a question for those that know better than myself. I received an award yesterday and had a qualifier in. Running the numbers today and using John Bell's AE spreadsheets I'm showing a worse projected percentage than what I had in using today's numbers and projected category lists. What does the company use to project %? Are they accounting for newhires that have yet to be put on the equipment?

well....when your failed model union negotiated retirement magically vanishes, many were left with very tough choices.

ok cool..that is what I figured. All good until they don't fill those spots with newhires ha. They better pile them on because by my calculations I'm about 7% worse off.
