On Mondy, B19 will look even more foolish...

Thanks for the update, CA1900. I'll be sure to hold my nose...

GF, great observation! On both counts.

 

[BoilerUP]

That's an AWESOME proposal your union reps have negotiated...

That's an AWESOME proposal your union reps have negotiated...

I agree. Looks like a pretty sharp group of guys and gals who worked on that.........

 

[netjetwife]

Definitely! And it's easy to see how much they value team work. I'm sure our Steelers fan agrees...

 

[CA1900]

I dunno... that crazy Steelers fan always seemed a little "funny" to me. :laugh:

Great package but I'm beginning to wonder how many will take the early out (at least on the I side). I hope: a lot. I think: not so many.

There are a few folks over here that I hope will decide favorably if you catch my drift.

I agree completely... it looks like a completely awesome package that some super senior guy with 30 years+ at an airline would take full advantage of...maybe even in this economy. I don't see it being taken advantage of by many at NJ.
I will eat crow it the actual results show otherwise, but I highly doubt it.
Good work though

I think a small amount will take the buyout, mainly:
-those who were waiting to retire until this came out
-those who were planning to retire in the next # years
-those who just want out of the flying business
-those at the bottom of the list who think being furloughed would be worse

my uneducated guess: 40 from NJI and 60 from NJA.

 

[CA1900]

Keep in mind "the package" involves a lot more than just the early-retirement buyout. I think you'll be surprised just how many of us take advantage of one or more items in it.

 

[netjetwife]

Exactly! Especially, when you consider the solidarity of NJASAP. There are plenty of ways for those in the middle of the pack to help out. My family has already spotted some things we can do. Furthermore, some of the offers will be open to other employee groups, too.

I agree with you, CA1900, that the naysayers will be surprised at the participation. Shall we go catch some crows...

Well you know there is a union proposal out because NJW is banging the drums.

 

[BeeDubya]

Same problem here. Someone needs to put the package back in the password area.

We've never had any intention of this being "secret." Quite the contrary. If it is not password protected, that is likely intentional. Check out AIN today.

To save the fumble around the internet - AIN Story

[BTW - very sensible & appropriate package]

I agree with your thoughts on the possible motivations but if we hit 20 early outs at NJI, I'll be shocked. There may be another 10 leaves of absence from those with family issues to sort out or a side business they would like to concentrate on for a shorter period (attention: Diesel ). That would be approximately 10% overall. Theoretically, about the same percentage would depart NJA (300 give or take). Will that be enough to avoid "involuntary measures?" Ah, the $64,000 question. We'll know by the middle of June.
