- RIF, non-voluntary sep, waive commitments and pay you less than if you vol'd. Occurs after first two programs run their course
About two weeks ago, AF approved a bunch of early retirements. Still no answers on the second.
Bottom line, at this point, there are now a few more people entering the job market (maybe 100s, not even close to thousands). If they approve VSP, that'd be more. How many? No idea.

Interesting strategy. You must believe that your seniority at Airways would be better than what you would get at AAL... or am I missing something?

Bottom line is no one knows yet, so it's not accurate to make a definitive statement like it "will be" DOH.
