Those guys can't retire/medical out/die fast enough.

I suggested on another thread everyone 55 hours and no furloughs

I spoke with someone well placed in the union today about the American plan..early outs for pilots over 62. A company says they can’t afford it.

Just for perspective, the double furloughed dudes are in the bottom half of the seniority list still.
