Neither would I.

However, in counter to your point, pilots turning 65 and working generally don't need medical surgeries.

What is the final contractual date for next perm bid on the CAL side? End of January? I am somewhat familiar with the process, i.e. effective date is 1 year from date of bid. I would just like to see how the beginning of retirements in December of 2013 will influence staffing.

Thanks

Section 24.3.C.2 states:

At least two (2) System Bids must be awarded each calendar year. These awards must occur no more than eight (8) months apart, one in the period January through June and the other in the period July through December.

I posted on another thread, but I don't expect age 65 to be reflected in the first bid of the year. As a reminder, two is the minimum number of system bids to be awarded. The company can always run more than that and have in the past couple of years. Typically a bid is awarded in January and then around August.
