If I’m a junior SWA FO at any age then... I’d be really tempted to take the VSP and get paid by SWA while working at UPS/FedEx/etc. Assuming you could get hired, of course. 5 years of 67 TFPs/month certainly takes the sting out of starting over at the bottom of another seniority list. That assumes you don't actually want to work at SWA at some point 5+ years in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
How you feel when when the 63 year old you're flying with says they're not going to take the early retirement.

I saw a captain in the crew room who is 62 saying this is all he has. He does not plan on leaving early even though he has 1200+ TFP in his bank.

I both feel sorry for him and hate him now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yep. The most valuable thing in life is time.
This is an unbelievable opportunity. I find myself daydreaming and fantasizing about what I would do if I take it. |

I'll be curious to see how many apply and how many gets approved. I am seriously tempted but I would be a bit short on the back end.
I am about 5 years south of the targeted demographic. Doing some quick, back of the napkin (public) math, if I took the VSP, I'd be getting roughly 1/3 of the pay (alone) vs. working til 65. That's working min guarantee, and not counting NEC, PS, healthcare etc. Any side gig I am qualified to do would pay a fraction of that, and I'd have to work exponentially more for it. |
