There were certain events in the defined benefit plan that would trigger getting higher benefits. For instance reaching age 60 meant you have no reduction in your pension. "Milestone" meant that the pilot had one of these triggers to meet before the early out expiration (June 2013) and his retirement date was adjusted to meet that milestone.

I can't attend that Church of the Less than 12 Year Payrate to get a Line. I'm already in the longer than 12 years so I can sit reserve in Atl on the little bus.

I even put in a bid for the 330......
I'd be super junior on it but livin' 30 minutes from the airport parking lot makes sitting reserve (along with the higher guarantee) not too much of a problem.... Thought maybe I'd try and at least get the type... Not sure when that might come in handy!! Anyway, probably wont get it on this one but possibly the next? Looks like about a dozen guys up here on the 330 took the RMA. Denny

What might help as well is the er guys who took the RMA, too. Less competition. I get the feeling that there may be some surprises on this one. Most of us aren't used to bidding an AE where there is some actual positive movement. Good luck! I hope you get it and if you and Ferd ever fly together, I want pictures! (You might have to send them to my email address though.)
