Maybe they think many will leave regardless or the perps. That or they think we could be short people in the near term if this moves quickly.
My guess we have a lot of people put in for retirement outside the PERPs prior to the DCC> We'll see.

Well, if the SLI team is currently meeting, and they are using the latest seniority list, these guys are on it. My thinking is they'll be on it when the new list is made (assuming it's done this month) and even though we aren't yet merged, NWA guys below them on the current NWA list will lose out slightly on the merged list, whereas if the list is not completed until November, they might be gone and it will improve our relative position by at least a few numbers. Or, will the SLI team have the foresight to take these pilots who were approved for early retirement out of the equation now? Selfish, I know, and I apologize, but I'm really just concerned about what's in it for me :-)
