If hired I'd prefer it to stay Alaska, but that is just me.

Any new news on when the online application will be ready?

I wish Alaska would just buy Delta and just be done with it.

Of course as they say, "why buy the Cow when you can drink the milk for free." Enjoy our terminal in Los Angeles.

I did not know that. Is that in the contract and I just missed it? A guy gets 45% more pension for working 5 more years? That seems odd, but it would explain why only 26% of those who can have retired.

It is in the A Plan document, but it is in legalese. The annual benefits approach that Alpa put out has the table with the early/late multipliers and others. They change annually. I think it is on the alpa site.

How did 6% sneak in there? I was trying to show that of 125 pilots over 60, 95 are still working. That's about 6% of the 1500 pilots on list. Seems inconsequential, but who wouldn't want to move up 95 numbers? OTOH IMHO, some of next year's hiring may be attributable to "semi-retired" gummers regularly underflying a full schedule.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 05:24 PM.
