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

Its kinda hard to figure why they would offer this to pilots if we're not over staffed.
This program is liable to get expensive real quick.
I think quite a few will take the money and run. Especially NWA guys who still have their DB. They're going to be working for nothing if they pass this up.

Maybe they will have a standing deal like this for retiring pilots. Have a set severance and in return allow the company to have a retirement window of their choosing.

Maybe next year :rolleyes:

In all seriousness though, I hope that a lot of old guys jump on this great opportunity to bail. :D

Initially I set the over/under at 10... I wish to revise it to 5.
