Since the biggest single voting block is the 7-years-or-less-on-property seniority folks, that strategy is going to yield substantially different carrots and sticks than in previous negotiations.

Not necessarily; If we get the early retirement plan I'm hearing about and it takes 700-1000 of the old guys off the top it's a win-win. Of course they will have to cancel 23-01 which I think will happen anyhow, which is also a win for everyone.

I am glad the UPSers were able to get two extensions. I can’t believe the argument is “they didn’t set the bar high enough” … especially from any FedEx pilot who has been living with the lowest pay rates since Contract 2015 was signed.

After the Teamsters are taken care of, I have no doubt that UPS pilots will once again set the bar.

I highly doubt that many people will early retire. I’d expect something less than half that.

The NC supposedly proposed a retirement incentive in response to the displacement bid. If one could be paid a good percentage of the money without working - why not?

Let's skip all the posts about ex-wives, boats, second family, no life, blah, blah, blah. It would make for a very unoriginal response.

But I enjoy those posts very much.

I'm told so far 60 1 year advanced notice guys have pulled their letters. If we get the early out plan I've heard about I can at least guarantee 1 taker.

Because pilots are cheap. If the pay rates are solid, I could totally see guys choosing to hang on a few extra years, particularly the ones with all the issues you listed above. An exodus may occur, but a mass exodus seems unlikely unless the retirement incentive is significant.
