215 Delta pilots take the PRIP

ATLANTA (AP) -- Union officials say 215 Delta Air Lines pilots have agreed to retire as part of a company incentive program designed to reduce the number of pilots to cut costs.
Pilots with at least 10 years of service as of the end of this year and whose age and years of service added together equal at least 55 were eligible to participate by Wednesday's deadline. Those who agreed to retire can revoke their decision if they do so by July 31. Of the more than 12,000 pilots at Delta, some 9,400 were eligible to participate.
The Atlanta-based company has not said how many pilots it hoped to cut.
Delta has cut capacity as the economy has weakened and demand for air travel has declined.

Hope they enjoy their retirement, or future endeavors. Cheers!
 
My personal thanks to everyone who decided to retire.
 
Based on the number of 12,000 pilots, the report obviously included NWA pilots. Any breakdown on how many were Delta and how many were Red Tail? Just curious.
 
 
As of the close, 215 pilots have elected to participate in the program. Of these, 201 are Delta North pilots and 14 are Delta South pilots.


Selected demographics of participating pilots follow:

  • The average age of participants is 59.7 with a range of 45 to 74
  • The average seniority of participants is 2,609 with a range of 10 to 10,867

delta has 74 year old line pilots? why are they allowed to fly past 65?
