I'm fairly Jr so if the button is hit I will be flushed out the bottom. A wise person would work as much as possible until they can't. I'm not wise, I'll probably be taking a few years off. Could be a bad decision but I have virtually no debt and can survive for a time on my savings. This offer coincided with the loss of a dear friend and it has really made me reevaluate my life.
I will be bidding for some time off. Like everyone else at/near the bottom I am nervous for the future.
Life's too precious. I can't ever get lost time back. My first day off I will be firing up the motorcycle, deciding what direction to go and I won't be going home anytime soon. Yeah, I was never good at planning...
Best of luck to everyone. See you all on the other side of this.

I also assumed whiskey and women were a given and didn't even need to be mentioned.

Planning on taking the 1 year ExTO.
My Goals
1. Spend time with the family
2. 100+ ski days
3. scratch golfer
cant believe SWA is being so generous. I’m a fairly junior FO and will take a financial hit doing this, but all I hear about is pilots dying early in retirement, so figure I will take advantage of the opportunity while I’m healthy.

That said, I’m taking an ExTO and for those that qualify for VSP, I think you’re absolutely crazy if you don’t take it. It’s not like you’re gonna be able to crush 150 TFP/month going forward. With all due respect, everyone’s situation is different but 192K a year to go away? Why can’t I be older?!
