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 are testing the waters to see if this could be the way to manage the retirements of the future. Im sure they don't like the unknown number of retirements that can happen at any day. 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

In all seriousness though, I hope that a lot of old guys jump on this great opportunity to bail.
Initially I set the over/under at 10... I wish to revise it to 5.
