Hey guys, does anyone use Liberty Mutual through Delta perks for auto insurance? Wanted to ask for some advice prior to deciding.
Thanks for the help!

Quite a leap. From what I understand, they need places to park newhires for awhile while the small NB training pipeline catches up. I could be wrong obviously, but even if it is an indication of NOT parking 757s, that is a lot of staffing for a category that is not GROWING.

Just finished a 13 day Asia trip and here is my unofficial poll. Two 744A's I flew with will take the early out, and they turn 65 in the next six months anyway. Most of the 744B's I spoke with are headed to A330B, with a few considering 777B.

Anyone with under a year to go would be foolish not to take it. It's basically free money. Having said that there were 6 pilots who did not take the last program with less then a year to go. They paid Delta to continue to work. All 6 worst case would have left 2 months before they turned 65. They passed on 32 additional weeks pay and 80 to 100k in a RMA account to work 2 more months.

Couldn't let go apparently. Don't ever live for the job. Make plans now for 65 regardless your age.
I'm going fly fishing.
