Actually, I just heard one. I usually don't trade in speculation that is so unfounded it isn't even on APC yet, but I couldn't resist. Early out program to be announced in less than two weeks, 73 points to qualify, and rumored to have a medical sweetener to haste exits....
But then again....I did believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny until high school....

Let me get this straight: You are ridiculing me for not being satisfied with our health plan, compensation, and representation.
I guess my goal of attaining significant improvements across the board, and being willing to fight for those improvements, is somehow at odds with your perverse view of a benevolent, God-like Delta, who, with DALPA at its right hand, will always take care of you.
Folks like you are why we'll never be able to negotiate the contract we want.

I'm guessing the "Points" are; age plus longevity?
Which, if the 73 number is correct, makes it available to anyone age 50+ with 23+ years of service, or a combination thereof, to equal 73 or above.
Geeze, I've got 78 Points...but no Frozen DB plan, or I'd be on a boat in Sint Maaten, if they'd cover the medical premiums!

If you receive your regular check via direct deposit, the profit sharing will be distributed the same way, per the article on travel net.
wrt to a supposed early out offer, why would the company offer this to our working group? Having trouble with scheduling with too many over 60 guys on same rotations? Sick calls too high on the larger jets? They would incur very large training costs to replace the early outs so I am having a hard time believing this one to be feasible, at least for now.

What makes you think they have -any- intention of replacing them? For the third A/E in a row, there will again be displacemets off the 777 Capt. And they have not (yet) replaced the 747 Capts. that were displaced earlier. This March AE should be very telling, as it's meant to cover the summer schedule. Of course it may cary some other weight too, as in, a shot across the bow for Section 6 Openers, to be exchanged in April. Don't think they won't use it to gain some leverage for us to capitualte...something...to save further displacements.

One could infer that this was my own private idea, but honestly, I could careless. At least we aren't talking about the "F" word...

This has nothing to do with restoration - it's a negotiated benefit. I'll celebrate anything I can get.

Look. I'm just trying to make sure folks are keeping their eye on the ball. Not saying you aren't.
