Retirement #'s

[Captzaahlie]

The "big numbers would be retiring by 2015" or sooner is probably gonna happen on the East side - may I ask why your asking? Does it have to do with something called "Nic"?

No actually it only has to do with my decisions on giving up a really great home based job to accept a recall to airways. I'm getting more time off than I ever had during the last 20 years of my flying. Now I'm getting an opportunity to do heavy wide-body international flying (if I survive the 76 type that I'm in the middle of.) and have no commute. The icing on the cake is having the company pull surprise stuff like giving me a bunch of xtra days off just prior to training to get stuff situated at home!
I got based out west as a newbie for airways due to the back log of 190 training that was going on and really have no dog in the fight. (FWI I know some really great people on both the West & East sides) Ironically I have more time on furlough with airways than I do working for them! lol :bawling:
(don't know if I should laugh or cry about that!)
