If I were sitting on a $900,000 lump sum at age 60 and facing at decrease every year and a change in interest equation coming up, I might consider it if everything was in order.

Given the history on the UAL side, I can't see it making sense for anyone over there.

You might be surprised who will take it. But it has to be funded. I don't know if there is any money left in the program. If there is, I am seriously considering it.....

See LOA 19...

1. The Company’s obligation hereunder shall be limited to offering early retirement opportunities, in the maximum aggregate amount of $20 million, to pilots who are in Active Service on the effective date of the Agreement, and to offer those opportunities on the

Ouch. I may not qualify. I was on voluntary furlough at the effective date of the agreement.

So...using arms-length math, that might get rid of 100-200 folks from the top. I'll take all I can get with the seniority.

$200/hr x 20% x 83 hours x 60 months (assuming an age-60 pilot) would be approx $200,000 which yields only 100 pilots eligible.

If the pilot was age 62 1/2 the early payout would be half that, or $100,000, which yields approx 200 pilots eligible

Get outta my way!
