I'm sure ALPA will work something out for our senior guys... as soon as the eMaestro and Soap issues are addressed.

eMaestro and Soap will never be resolved. At this point I think ALPA is simply creating messes just to justify their work. If this company is still around Delta/Comair will make sure that Soap is still here at least until the next contract is negotiated.

Don't count on very many senior pilots to accept a buyout. I doubt it would be worth it for the company to offer much more than 6 months pay in addition to flight benefits. Most senior pilots still get pretty good schedules and make good money. Why leave early in this economy?

My thoughts exactly. Those guys are going to be around until the last day.

They wont offer buyouts to pilots..They haven't yet, and they wont.

Why offer buyouts when you can furlough everyone and then not worry about it in 5 years when we all get booted from the seniority list contractually?
