IOW, if the 74A's are capped at 25 and 26 74A's put in their papers, boom the program is over and 25 guys retired early.
That said, I think it will make it down to whatever seniority meets the requirements.

The real question here is, how many of those early outs is the company going to REPLACE??
In the last early out program, I think the final number was about 182(?), yet how many of those positions were replaced in later A/E's?
I don't recall seeing much back filling afterwards.

I've always heard that if American tried to merge with Alaska, Delta would push a merger with Alaska. AA is trying, but AS said no apparently.

The downside of this early out is that it is by category / number allowed to leave in category AND seniority.
IOW, if the 74A's are capped at 25 and 26 74A's put in their papers, boom the program is over and 25 guys retired early.
That said, I think it will make it down to whatever seniority meets the requirements.

If they only offer 25 744 slots then no pilot in another category can retire unless he is senior to the 25th pilot on the 747.

Scambo is correct. If anyone who wants to take the package is denied due to "operational requirements", no one junior to that person will be allowed to take the package.
