They only knew their ENTIRE career that they would have to retire at age 60--->And a lot of them were prepared to walk out at age 60...but that federal law got changed and they see an opportunity...why not take it?... and they obviously were not disciplined enough to save for retirement--->Now thats painting a lot of people with the same broad brush. Lots of these guys are sitting on a wad of cash. Maybe they just like this job at SWA..so why not fly if they can still do it? ...and why does their coming back bother you so much?(despite the fact that SWA has been one of the best performing stocks over the last 25 years and they should be multi-millionares).--->and lots of them are well off. Why not come back for 4 years at 45k/per and sit reserve in Oakland. --->Ohhhh...Reserve in OAK...scary....NOT !!! First of all....they won't stay in OAK too long with a few New Hire classes coming behind them..nor will they stay on Reserve. In fact, I'll bet that in a few months they will all be flying out of the Domicile of their choice...and besides, they already KNOW that they will be on reserve starting out...if it doesn't bother them...why does it obviously bother you?
You proabably also believe Hillary should be awarded the delegates from Michigan despite the fack Obama and Edwards weren't even on the ballot there. Why not.. it would be discrimination otherwise...and very unjust.--->What a stretch...nobody even mentioned Hillary, Obama or Edwards on this issue....now were talking delegates and AGE 65?
...or could it be that Hillary, Obama, Edwards and McCain are all part of the US Senate that voted "Unanimous Consent" to change the age to 65...could that be the tie in?
Some people expend soooo much energy on things they have absolutely no control over....sheesh
