Its called the Freedom 09 Voluntary Separation Program!

Hired 1997 or earlier = $130,000
1998 = $115,000
1999 = $105,000
2000 = $95,000
2001 = $80,000
2002 = $70,000
2003 = $60,000
2004 = $50,000
2005 = $35,000
2006 = $25,000
2007 = $15,000
2008 = $4,500

I wonder if any old goats are leaving?
 
A couple of senior guys will take it...tired of the 2 leg commute to TUL or OKC.

I bet Capt. Dave Rose - that just "retired" last Friday in OAK is kicking himself right now. All he had to do was work another month and he would have gotten $130,000 to do what he was planning on doing anyway!
 
Not much of an offer, though. Especially the "1997 or earlier" part. Kind of an insult really, for the 20+ year guys.

Don't worry about the 20+ year guys, they are doing just fine. Remember this is voluntary
 
Funny you mentioned Dave's name. If it is the same Dave I went to AOCS with him and flight school back in 1981. Haven't heard or seen him since just now. Thanks for renewing the memories!
