I went out on medical at 60 and I am fine with staying out, I have LOM coverage thru age 68.

Why couldn’t NJ say “airlines have age 65, so do we.”

I also wonder this:

If a current 330/ 767 Pilot takes VPLOA, will he get the 50 hours at group III/ IV pay or at whatever group rate he would be displaced to? This might make a huge difference in who takes the early retirement.
