So the early retirement close time has passed, anyone know exactly how may took the leave? I suppose we have to wait till the 9-5ers are back in the office tomorrow, but just wondering if anyone has access to that info.

Actually, the real number comes out on the 15th, which is the deadline to pull your retirement request.

Let me get this straight - you seem to think that you're "at different level" than SWA pilots because of you MIL experience and the fact that you went to riddle?
Instead of worshiping you for overpaying for a mediocre education, we should pass around a hat for you. You could have paid off your loans much quicker at SWA, but then again you wouldn't have been hired into a 767 and had your head pushed fully up your rear. Get real dude. Your peers are cringing - quit making them look bad. Conversely, nicely done keeping up the Riddle kids stereotype. Every one I've met is just like you. |

Then go work for some other regional, it can't get much worse. You would upgrade faster and have a better career.

I don't think we are at a different level. Most pilot's just want to have a rewarding career and make good money doing it. The sterotype riddle guy doesn't hold any water. I lived in a garage with no TV or telephone. I remember eating alot of mac and cheese. This was 35 years ago, maybe the new breed of riddle guys have changed but back then most of us struggled to go to school there.

I also agree, we all just want that "great career" not a good job that we saw as the status quo when we all signed up for aviation. It is attainable, but only though unity. |

Up until the post 9/11 era and the opportunistic use of bankruptcy by airline management, this was a "great career." I'm not quite sure how you saw what we have now as "the status quo" when you signed up for aviation... because I'm pretty sure you got into this prior to 9/11. But at least that explains your thinking. For the record, I chose this profession for two reasons. 1) I love to fly. 2) If you made it to the top (which I felt confident I could do), it was a "great career." Sorry you had (have?) such low expectations. |
