Alaska offerers 80K to retire is it enough?

Actually they had enough people to sign up for VF to mitigate the involuntary furlough.

300? Doubt it...There's more to this story!

Wow...I stand corrected. I also hear that all other still on furlough are being brought back. Wonder if there is anything to this?

I'm not holding my breath that this is going to result in good news for the 120 of us.

I hope I'm wrong.

Baja,

I sure hope that's true. I've heard that, too. However, I'm still preparing to be furloughed until I hear something otherwise. I hate to say it, but I'm counting on the old guys to go get a life and get out of here.

QCappy,

You have high expectations from at least 25 pilots on the property, especially since they have less than 2 weeks to make such a decision.

Besides, even if we get 25-30 guys to bolt, it may not prevent all 54 from being furloughed. It may simply reduce the furlough number from 54 to 30.

Why? Has anyone added up the salary of those who go (senior) vs all of those up for poss furlough (most junior)?

 

[Baze]

It's not all about adding up salaries, etc. The "EO" program, if it works, will prevent downgrades (up to 28). Which means that 26 active FOs would still be on the chopping block.

I'm sure the Angle Lake bean counters have it all figured out. *sarcasm*
