I’d love to know why the guys who passed on the early out feel about working the first 50 hours of every month for free.
Also, every one of these pilots started their career with the idea that they would retire at age 60 with a pension that would have been less than what they would have got per year to 65 from this deal. 😕

1. “What else would I do?“
2. “If I call in sick I’d be capped at 93 hours.” When I would point out that they just flew 14 days for an additional 20 hours over their published line, they’d say, “Yeah, but I made 105 hours of pay instead of 85.” I’m still trying to wrap my head around that mindset. If I lived in base I’d rather get 73 hours to bid reserve than to fly 12 days of LHR trips for 78 hours.

The number one reason why guys did not take the early out is just pure GREED and the second is poor financial planning.
Only 9% of 335 million Americans make 100k/year which is less than 33.5 million peoples. Now only 1% of 335 million make 250k/year which is around 3.35 million peeps, United is giving guys 250K for three years to sit their @ss home/enjoy life but it is viewed as a severe pay cut. Go around and say to your neighbors that you’ll make 250k to stay home and let’s see how bad they will feel for you! The guys that did not take that deal are IDIOTS, I wish the same deal comes around when I’m 62.

Greed - intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

Definition says nothing about how it was earned, or who earned it. Greed is greed.
Not saying a pilot who didn’t take the early out is greedy. Just defining greed accurately.
