There will be more. I am planning on taking it but haven't signed up yet. I was doubtful my seniority would hold it but now I'm cautiously optimistic. Out of 214 total so far, 49 or so are junior to me. The ages appear to be largely upper 50's/lower 60's which is where I fall.

Company initially offered an early out option several months back (PVSL) and it was for peeps above age 62, which rather limited the number of candidates eligible. I think just under 500 took that, although 600'ish were available. Jump to this new TA/LOA and the early out (PVSL-2) was expanded to those age 50 and above with more than 10 years of service. Pays two years of pay (vice the three that was offered on version 1). I believe most of the benefits remain intact, some travel benefits, paid move, etc. 655 early outs are funded/possible with this, so the fact the first snapshot came out with only 214 on the list surprised many. Guys as low as seniority #9100 and age 50 showed up on the first snapshot, and that surprised many that someone as junior as 9100 would get it, as the awards are seniority based to the senior 655 that put in for it. All fleets except the 787 leave in November....the 787 awards will be delayed five months because that fleet is flying their arses off and the training pipeline for replacements will take several months. Hope that helps.....
