I'll let BeeDubya handle the implications of that scenario......
.... A pilot that age would be CONSIDERING RETIREMENT ANYWAY and this is a great way to pull the plug on their career while benefiting themselves AND those pilots junior to them. This program is good for the company AND good for the pilots. And their families, too. It's a generous but cost-effective (read win-win) option that will quite nicely ease a couple's transition to retirement or provide a good jump start to a second career. I totally agree that it makes a great ending to a career that involved a difficult lifestyle and cost lots of family time.
..... But I must say that the NJASAP leadership has exhibited remarkable pragmatism, flexibility, and cooperation with the company in dealing with the market conditions. NJASAP AIN'T the UAW, the Teamsters, or any other old-school, intransigent, angry union.
One more BTW: new reports from NJI management indicate the "early out" option has been more popular than expected and they actually might not be able to accomodate all the requests.
I'm definitely NOT predicting any new captain upgrades, just an orderly reshuffling to get the fleets staffed as needed.
That sounds about right. I would imagine the company may also stagger the dates of the early-out options to allow any possible training time to fill fleets that may suffer the most from any exodus.
How many of these pilots gave up decent flying jobs to go to work at NJ with the rosy picture the union was painting for the future?
I keep reading the CBA and i still can't find the section that gives NJASAP the final say on how many pilots must be employed......
B19 has made up his/her mind. Do not confuse him/her with the facts!
As many as I say. I am the end all be all of total awesomeness.I keep reading the CBA and i still can't find the section that gives NJASAP the final say on how many pilots must be employed......

the fact that the union at NJ has cost the company millions of dollars and forced an overstaffing of the company which in turn is putting pilots out of work, voluntary or not.
I recommend you watch the collective works of David Spade.Amazing, you can't read the work rules/days off/scheduling sections of the contract?
Please don't tell me that you don't understand how staffing models are developed for any company.
Please don't tell me that you are actually looking for a number inside the CBA that tells how many pilots per airplane need to be hired...
Wow... how rookie does that get?
