One of the most unintelligent posts I’ve seen in years.

its 363 pilots that we would not have had take an EO without the TA. So I call it a win!

see that argument doesn’t make any sense to me.

if 4000 pilots had been furloughed without this TA, then wouldn’t they be paying for you to keep 70 hours MPG? Wouldn’t they be paying for those 363 to still be employed? Wouldn’t they be paying to keep the company afloat?

The pilot group is always paying somehow it’s just a matter of who is paying and how much.

You also realize these EO2s don’t create any movement wrt the seniority list or at least not for a couple years until they actually are retired. This is another one of those little gems in the LOA to keep the lower 1/3 in the lower 1/3. They take the EO, we pay for it and we don’t even move up in seniority. I call it a loss.

yeah but now a bottom 1/3 may not get furloughed because those pilots are now permanently retired.

However, your point is valid and it is a HUGE negative and it’s one of the items I was displeased with

Somebody's gotta fill the seat.

Also, I saw some 53 year olds (maybe a few even younger and good on 'em!). So they don't move the list technically for 2 years. But then they sure do.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised at the low take-rate from the 63 & 64 year olds. I believe that there are around 550 of them, and only about 40 took it.

Everybody has their reasons for staying an extra 24 months or less rather than taking the offer... but I didn't expect that many would.

One guy I spoke with held off because he would be unable to contribute his own money into Schwab.

Man those are pretty marginal gains if that's the only reason, but everybody has a different situation.
