Wow. In all of Carl's shotgun style posts, the one that drew the above response from you Slow resonates.
I, and I am sure others here, would actually like to hear how that came about. How do the best labor lawyers our dues can buy craft a document as specific as the BPL and either fail in its construction or in upholding it?

The core of the early retirement issue is the cost of insurance. If the company would offer some kind of bridge insurance at a reasonable rate, you'd see a lot more people bail
Even offering 6 months pay is little incentive for someone looking at five years or more large health care costs.

Just like those guys we have working legal in house for us at ALPA. That is where most of these lawyers aspire to practice, particularly in a city like DC!
Interesting side point. Both Gerald and Richard are lawyers. See any of them negotiating their own contracts here at Delta?

Slow is waiting for direction from LM and the Alpa lawyers before answering

The process was stacked heavily in favor of management. I think your last sentence is a complete mischaracterization of the BPL.

Turns out it wasn't the medical keeping people from retiring. It was not wanting to give up $15K/month.
