Concession discussions in our future?
Just saw it. Fingers crossed. 500 people choosing to spend time with their families would be enormous. (Pulled that number out of my rear. No idea how many they'll actually find)

Not too many, I'm afraid. I asked every guy above 60 in the last 2 months. Nobody was interested. Unless the deal is really sweet, there will be very few takers.

If it was an offer like AA had, I think we would have lots take the leave. I am sure the offer will be more like 2009. A rubber duck and some extra swag points .

Would be great for the company, as they’re shedding the most expensive and least productive employees, but the deal would have to be too sweet to be cost effective in the long run.

Here’s the scenario you don’t see. 1500 pilots fat. Now factor ETO, early outs, etc...
Each CA position that takes those options is equal to 2 jobs saved. Lets say 500 pilots take the options, equals 1000 jobs saved. Is it worth it to furlough 500 when it does more damage to your brand than keeping pilots on property?
Call me an optimist, but by the end of June we will be flying 60% of our schedule. EU said tonight that summer travel will be open. I’d say we are doing good and barring any large setback, we will setup for the future.

I think they meant in a normal situation when we are hiring; an early out opens a Capt seat for a FO and opens an FO seat for a new hire. With downgrades, an early out is just 1 seat.
