Seems like too many of you are posting without really reading through what's offered.
Two very different programs here. All things considered, I think this is a very solid offer from a regional airline that doesn't have to do ANYTHING if they don't want to.
To a captain holding a crappy line that has a fairly lucrative side job and a wife with a stable job, this is most definitely something attractive. Different people are in different situations. A ton of us on here are FOs with 5 YOS or less, of course it doesn't make sense to us.
We'll just have to wait and see where it goes. Regardless guys, just remember, any little bit helps. As a very wise sensei of mine said "it loosens the belt".

Yes. I am looking at someone who has 5 years of service as of Dec. 31, 2009. It looks to me that those employees would receive flying benefits for a year for each year of service that they have completed. So for a 5 year employee that would mean benefits for 5 years. Now that same program says that there is unlimited yield fare tickets for employee and passriders on Delta and Comair only. I am wondering if "Unlimited" means for life? I can't see why else you would use yield fare tickets during the 5 years of your benefits. Does that make better sense?
I don't think that is the intent of the bullet points. I could be clearer if they added the word "for" between the two lines.

I thought about that, but looking back at the memo, the bullet point with the regular privileges has a time frame so you would think that the yield fare would as well if it was time limited.

Ok, maybe you can help me understand. Why would you need a yield fare ticket if you have your regular flying benefits for the five years anyway? Maybe for your other passriders?

Maybe I'm as lost as you are, but I think you are mixing up the two different buy out plans.
The "Early Out" plan is the one that gives people with at least 5 years of service at Comair a year of unlimited yield fare travel for each year of service.
Example: 5 years at Comair, 5 years of unlimited yield fare travel.
The "55 Point Early Retirement Plan" is plan number 2 for people with either 10 years of service and age + years of service = 55. Or 25 years of service. They would receive unlimited travel at S3B and yield fare for non-dependents or other passriders.
Hope that helps.
