This was before age 60 changed, but I heard CAL lost about 30-40 777CA's in 2 months to Jet Airways. They took their pensions and ran, plus they got to fly past 60 and were still based in EWR.

That helped a lot. I was expecting to see 176 captain reductions on this bid, 37 isn't that bad in comparison. The divorce-pension-remarried guys also stood up to the plate too

It's great they left Cal and managed to work out their marital woes. You can't ask for a better conclusion than that.
