Career Airline
Interesting to see that over the last 10-12 years the airline has battered conditions and salary to death...and 'summarily executed' 49 guys.You may want to consider where you will be in a few years time as are the guys who have been here longer than you.The company has shown with wonderful clarity that the longer you stay the worse it gets....salaries,duty time,crewing,...and if you stand up against them they'll whack you....en masse.Best of a bad bunch?..maybe...but that doesn't make it right.
The entire 55 retirement thing is designed to erase any retirement benefits beyond that age..."we'd like you to stay but you got to b*gger off on B pay limited benefits and endure a roster designed to flummox the hardiest s/o on freighters...oh yes..by the way thanks for the last 20 years loyal service".....adios boys..good luck with your crewing.
