Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
No, it's still more expensive to over staff than to mitigate it via an early out, I just don't believe it's an early out or massive displacements system wide. More like stagnation for many and lower ALV's in higher paying categories.
The junior 330/765 CA/FO's should be ****ed if they get displaced and the union could have prevented it without it costing a penny of PWA value to the pilot group.
The "bottom" of the 744 CA's are 58-60.. They will displace/stagnate portions of the 777/330/765 categories for 5-6 years. GREAT IDEA, let's do that!
I like things that move pilots off the top of the list without costing us anything, YMMV.
Who said 40 captains displaced? At 10 capt per airplane or more there will be by next yr 80 plus capt displaced. Most of them are avg age 55. And what is funny is now they will displace the RD 777 guys who intern displace on down the line. This could be a huge ramifications to our group. You guys ***** about pilots staying till 65! Now when you have a chance to get them to leave early you don't want them too. Go figure...

Also--where's MD on this? How about a clear, concise letter (absent the usual legalese and mealy wording) from him stating that we expect to make gains in return for helping solve the company's self-inflicted crisis. And if the company won't provide those gains for every pilot on the list, the company can wait until Section 6 to address the issue.
Nah, what am I thinking. That would require some leadership and resolve.

There is not a 55 year old at this company that will leave for an early retirement program. ESPECIALLY one that has the seniority to hold the whale. Anybody that thinks they will is smoking weed. If you want t realistic look at this, take anybody on the whales between 64 and 62. Anybody outside that window will displace anyway.

I'm junior. I don't think we should force a pilot to displace "just because"; nor the guys beneath them that will displace in a waterfall. WTH, would you want someone to do that to you?

I think most people will be for it as long as it doesn't violate the PWA (trend item), is offered to everyone in seniority order, and appears fair to the pilot group. Hope they bring enough bubble gum for everyone.

But I know who does. Hint: I give them 1.9% of every single paycheck. In return, I expect them to supply those numbers--and do something with them.
BTW, I haven't seen anything other than rough WAGs and completely unsupported conjecture from you. You estimate "500 training events?." Very well. I estimate 5,000 training events. See, I can make up numbers, too.
You also refuse to acknowledge the leverage created due to the training pipeline already running heavier than it has in years. Cascading displacements could result in backed up training and cancelled flights next summer. There are "cash" and intangible costs of that outcome. Again, I expect "my" "union" to exploit that situation.
You claim to be on the pilots' side. But every single post from you on this issue is a replay of the company's position. Why is that?
