At least this should somewhat alleviate the staffing shortages on the NB categories.

Yeah, but then you have to go to work with other United pilots...

They should go to United if that is the case. Research Global reserve at UAL and I suspect you will understand why they can hold it. As I posted here heads would explode at Delta if the company even suggested it.

Hope more CA bids show up soon.

When the company planned the prior bids they anticipated about 530 retirement. That included a factor for early outs.
