Nevermind. Just looked it up. Closes Nov 30th. Anybody considering it? I have only flew with 1 guy who says he put his name in the hat.

I saw a chief pilot update that only 29 had applied so far (about a week or so ago). I'm not surprised it's so low. If you look at the numbers, it only makes sense for those who are already leaving. Otherwise, not worth it.

I flew with a couple that sounded interested, not including me. I would do it in a heartbeat, but found out I am not eligible. I was VF on the date of signing.

I wish people would stop making fun of the Guppy. Its such a cute little airplane and doesn't deserve it.

Flying this week with a guy who is leaving 5 years early (age 60) and starting a new career. I'm buying the beer!

Or you could say he is retiring on-time instead of hanging-on until 65. Thank you John Prater.

Well at least everyone below you will be glad to hear you are gone at 60 or will it be 55?
