You make a good point. Compounding this problem is all the money being spent in Iraq and Afghanistan war with no reimbursement of any kind from Iraq. It is also reprehensible that Bankers gave themselves millions of Dollars in bonus using taxpayer bailout money. Our Government should go after these greedy individuals and make them pay back all the money they "stole" from the US taxpayers.
When you don't establish, regulate, and enforce laws that prevent a thief from stealing, don't be surprised when every joe schmo in a fancy suite takes billions out of the federal governments' coffers under the guise a federal bailout towards U.S. economic recovery.
Sorry for the thread drift, off my economic-government social policy rant.
Anyone have an idea when the PERPS will be offered (Assuming ALPA agrees to the terms from management)?
I'd imagine they will wait until this summer before thinning out the staffing levels, but again that's just a guess?

The company can build lines to 89.5 hours if they like. Not much choice when that happens. The days of the 75 hour cap at Delta are 10 years past.

Might as well make some hay while the sun shines.

Carl, it's not a 3% "penalty". That may be how the math is calculated (I don't really know how your plan works), but its really just a stretching out of the payments.
For example, pilot "A" retires at 60 and gets $100,000 per year for 25 years (on average).
Pilot "B" retires at 55 and gets $85,000 but he gets it for 30 years.
Same pot of money, just being drawn over a longer period. That seems fair to me.

FWIW, when I guy wants to drop a 25 hr trip, I am more than willing to help him out.
Me flying a lot is not the reason I am not posting though. Just have not felt the need nor the desire to add to the conversation.
