AA had thousands who took the 55hr month short term leaves. Why would more not take it at SW?

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
That's 5%, if they can get them all to leave which ain't nothin I guess.
If they pay me my current FO salary at guarantee plus retirement contribution from now until I turn 65, I'll go away and find something else to do. They can even keep my sick bank as a parting gift.

I'm 38 and if they paid me my current rate 50hr a month plus medical and 401k I would leave in a heartbeat.

Same!
I really enjoy my job but I’d love to sit this one out. You know the gloom the doom, the know-it-alls, the four- to six-weeks there’s going to be an announcement company forum prognosticators, I don’t know, just watch it all from across the bar and turn the TV when I’m bored with it, rather than being front and center.

So to correct what I said earlier we have 1160 that retire in the next five years at SWA. For some reason I thought there was less. I hope the early retirement is a better deal than the ETO but I’m not holding my breath, if they get half of them to go I’d be surprised.
And yeah Zap, I’d be out the door to for that same deal!

Seems there's nothing to worry about per Der Leader
“They have great confidence, and they have great confidence in us, and they have great confidence in the airlines. We saved the airlines with $25 billion and another $25 billion. We have airlines that are now in good shape, obviously they are going to pick up with the fares and with the seats. The airline industry is in good shape. We’ve been able to save the airline industry, which would have been devastating if that happened. So, they’re in good shape.”

If what happened? What a twat.
Anyway, glad you're all in good shape.

Would airlines even take another round of federal money at this point if the same terms applied? The grant money only covered about 50 ish percent of payroll and whatever percentage has to be paid back and in regards to the loans such high debt will make it difficult for the carriers to make money even when things do turn around. Not to mention all of the route red tape that Mnuchin tacked on. I think they took whatever deal the government offered them to buy them some time to formulate a plan, but if the path to profitability is another year or so down the road come October I can’t imagine they will be looking for more band aids.

Yeah, unless it was direct cash infusions without strings attached, I can’t imagine they’ll take another. Bankruptcy is a more attractive option.

Delta’s 777 aircraft to retire by end of 2020, simplifying widebody fleet amid COVID-19

Well poo. Wondered if that might come to fruition but certainly hoped it wouldn't be the case. That's a very senior fleet that is going to cause lots of displacements and going to be mighty expensive re-training. Better get that early out program hammered out this week.Delta’s 777 aircraft to retire by end of 2020, simplifying widebody fleet amid COVID-19

Also goodbye JNB & SYD, don't think the Tree-Fiddy can do those.

Delta, others wrestle with too many planes, too many pilots
Delta Air Lines <DAL.N> moved to retire its Boeing Co <BA.N> 777 fleet and reduce its pilot ranks on Thursday as it joins other airlines wrestling with the need to shrink their operations to match reduced air travel due to the coronavirus crisis.

Not really sure how these things go to the news so quick but here it is. 2500-3500 possible overstaffed summer 2021 (retirements included).

Where in Taiwan? Once Taiwan opens up, I am hearing late June early July, I would love to share some Kavalan at my favorite bar in Taipei and pick your brain.
