UPS Retirements
So I'm looking at the reference seniority list for the new bid that just came out....
I can't honestly say I blame a lot of these guys for staying past age 60 but MY GAWD, every time I see >60 next to a name I just want to scream! It seems like every time I look at the seniority list there are more and more. I wish they wouldn't point it out on the seniority list like that. I can't wait till these people start retiring!

Shaggy...no doubt. When you see a bald female pilot walking around, you'll know it's me.

The best our pilots have so far is 22 years of service for our A plan and a B fund that has been hammered by the stock market. If you run the numbers , unless someone has been extremely fortunate or has a Mil retirement also, going past 60 is a no brainer. The difference in income between working or retiring is ugly.

Bad time to wish for fads. Folks that lurk here and cry, at least w/ a real name on the B&G love these age based in-fights- they'll twist your context to make it a personal attack. Heck, that one guy even may pick up more open time again...
It's the law, the economy is down, market returns especially. The retirement red zone is like -5 years to +10 years around retirement. The 5 year jump to age 65 is almost a no brainer unless folks cashed out in the better market years.
Yes, a long retirement is a good thing. Some claim you live longer by retiring sooner. Just keep the karma positive, please.
Bigger fish are already in the fryer- among them the new names at the bottom of that bid w/ the "F".

you know that they put the >60 next to their names for a reason, right? or did you miss the class about fars and stuff?

Plus it gives an opportunity for someone to be upset, post something in reference to it and drive a wedge between pilots that UPS can use to their advantage. Union Busting 101a
