The other two also have a much higher retirement rate than we do. Delta has a ton of retirements that will eliminate around 1500 pilots in the next 2 years, we only have around 900. When this is over, all of the big 3 will probably be reduced by approximately the same percentage. We look at mitigation as avoiding involuntary pilot furloughs. A business looks at them as a cost cutting measure. Evidently it is cheaper to furlough than to pony up enough cash to make more people interested in leaving early.

To MoP’s point, Delta had over 1800 pilots take the early out and 1941 furloughs is over 3700 pilots becoming inactive. If they didn’t have the amount of pilots take the early outs, they would still have about 3700 pilots becoming inactive.
