You are aiming at early retirement - I would get that earlier class date and ask your previous employer for a reasonable payment plan.

A few questions, I applied in Jan and my app went inactive...no TBNT email, does that mean my app is dead in the water? Also, I'm guessing there is no way to update now that the window is closed, I added a heavy type in between applying and right after the window closed.

Seriously though, new folks - not easy to do but yes, even the new folks please start saving money. The teamster strike will probably happen and yes, we WILL honor it.

I appreciate the different perspectives and I learned a bit about impending paycheck obstacles. My initial post was simply share what I've learned that the company is willing to do in regards to start date flexibility. My situation is not as one dimensional as the responses it received suggest and I made my decision based on my long term plan (keep my six figures and work 10-12 years vs give up my six figures and work 10-12 years). Again, I realize furlough is a threat all professional pilots face and sooner is better when getting a line number. As for the Teamster strike, no I didn't figure that into my decision.. but it sounds like keeping my cash reserve will come in handy.

Usually opens in January. From what I've seen here, they have quite a few applications on file to get them through to January. But never know, keep an eye out on upsjobs. Could randomly open
