- right....like they're going to want to take on and pay someone with that level of seniority? -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 11:00 1
  - They barely even want to pay pilots, let alone flight attendants. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 30, 11:09
- United is involuntarily furloughing 700 FAs -- (link) - ty97 Jan 30, 10:54
Sorry you are experiencing a delay. Please try your request again. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 10:41
"here is not nearly enough money to retire on. We good?" -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:40 13
- 15 years doesn't warrant a retirement package. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 10:44 10
  - and 40k doesn't warrant waking away from a job in this market. - Reagen Jan 30, 10:48 9
    - depends on what you're walking towards. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 10:59
    - It's their union's negotiated deal, and their choice to volunteer. If they don't think it's a good idea, they can choose not to. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 10:54 7
      - right, and I think it's a terrible deal. I thought that was pretty clear. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:55 6
        
        Right, I'm just saying I don't see how retirement enters into it. A deal based on 15 years seems to be pretty specifically *not* related to retirement -- nm - mara Jan 30, 10:58 5
        
        because it's not all that awesome to be looking for a job right now if you don't have a specific set of skills. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 11:00 4

        I had even money on you taking this. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 11:08

- They have pensions as well, so if they are near or thinking about retiring, it's an incentive. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:42
